Datura stramonium L., Sp. Pl. 179 1753. (Syn: Datura bernhardii Lundstr. ....; Stramonium foetidum Scop. ....);
Common thornapple, Jimsonweed, thornapple, Jamestown-weed, Devil's apple;
In both D. stramonium and D. metel the plants are glabrous, hairy in D. inoxia The deciding difference between D. metel and D. stramonium is that mature fruit of D. metel is drooping, covered with short blunt tubercles barely exceeding 3 mm; in D. stramonium mature fruit is erect covered with long spines up to 5 mm long. In addition the following may help. Plants of D. metel are generally taller less branched and erect often reaching 1.5 m and tend to have purplish stem, in D. stramonium plants are shorter, more branched and spreading, stems not purplish. The leaves of D. stramonium are generally parted, whereas they are not parted in D. metel

Plants glabrescent or hairy; calyx cylindrical; corolla more than 12 cm long; leaves entire or sinuate but not dentate, anthers longer than 1 cm (capsule deflexed, irregularly dehiscent)... 2 2. Plants gladular-pubescent, not purple; calyx 8-10 cm long; corolla 15-18 cm long, anthers 10-17 mm long (capsules deflexed, covered with slender prickles, pubescent, irregularly dehiscent)......................D. inoxia 2a. Plants glabrescent, often purple; calyx 4-9 cm long; corolla 14-20 cm long; anthers 10-12 mm long (capsule deflexed, with short broad-based short prickles, irregularly dehiscent)...............D. metel
