Wikipedia
Brugmansia is a genus of seven species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae. They are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous flowers, and have no spines on their fruit. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of angel's trumpets, a name sometimes used for the closely related genus Datura. (Datura differs from Brugmansia in that they are herbaceous bushes, with erect rather than pendulous flowers - and most have spines on their fruit).
Like many ornamental plants, all parts of Brugmansia can be toxic. All seven species are listed as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List, although they still exist wild in other areas as an introduced species.
