'''''Datura''''' is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family [[:Category:Solanaceae (family)|Solanaceae]]. Also known as '''devil's trumpets''', '''moonflowers''', '''Jimsonweed''', '''devil's weed''', '''hell's bells''', '''thorn-apple''', and many more. | |||
The precise and natural distribution of daturas is uncertain, owing to its extensive cultivation and [[naturalization]] throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. Its distribution within the Americas and North Africa, however, is most likely restricted to the United States and Mexico and Southern Canada in North America, and Tunisia in Africa, where the highest species diversity occurs. | |||
All species of ''Datura'' are poisonous, especially their seeds and flowers. Daturas are not to be confused with '''angel's trumpets''', its closely related genus ''[[Brugmansia (botany)|Brugmansia]]''. | |||
