Title: Datura Inoxia I thought... Now I know its definately Datura leichhardtii
Post by: fairdinkumseeds on February 28, 2014, 10:48:54 AM
A few months ago I sent 4 or 5 members Datura stramonium and some seeds I thought were Datura inoxia.
I now know that they are infact Datura leichhardtii, not Datura inoxia.
They have a smallish yellow flower and it never really opens properly like my other datura do, even at night.

Scrap that.
Its inoxia for sure after all!
I had a reasonably knowledgable friend tell me it was D. leichardii and when I checked google images, goggle disagreed with me and agreed with my mate.

Some vendors are selling it as such and there are some incorrect pictures on the web about it, BUT, I just had a plant scientist dude say no way, its 100% definitely D. inoxia, due to this this this and this.

He seems to more reputable than google images or my mate.
Sorry for the back and forth.  :P
101% sure it is defiantely Datura inoxia. ;D

Sorry for the confusion!

Its funny, I was just thinking it would be really cool to do some study so I can start to use the correct words when describing plants.
Got a pretty good self taught understanding of how they work, and what they need, but no core botanical knowledge or education really makes it hard describing differences and trying to get ID's.
Sometimes saying "that little frilly bit at the top or the stem, just near the leaf bit" just doesn't cut it  :P
Don't even know where to start on most of those "ID keys", but this will definitely help.
Thanks a bundle!
