Brugmansia is a
genus of seven species of flowering plants in the family
Solanaceae. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of
angel's trumpets, a name sometimes used for the closely related genus
Datura.
Brugmansia are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous, not erect, flowers, that have no spines on their fruit.
Datura species are herbaceous bushes with erect (not pendulous) flowers, and most have spines on their fruit. All seven species are listed as
Extinct in the Wild by the
IUCN Red List.
