Rev Posted March 26, 2006 Candida double white i think that and the peach brug - often two tiones starting white and turning peach are the most common ones youll find australia wide maybe a few brug sanguinea, the odd suaveolens and some aureas very occassionally or locally abundant but look what they can be... http://www.americanbrugmansia-daturasociety.org/ Drooooool by all means hook up and try to get seed but remember only labelled clean B candida seed is permitted import Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MORG Posted March 26, 2006 Nice photo there Here's an old but great paper on Datura taxonomy. Included is a good key to Brugmansia for diagnosing between B. candida, B. sauveolens and B. sanguinea. Of course, you won't get to variety though. Taxonomic Account of Datura L. (Solanaceae) in Australia with a Note on Brugmansia Pers. L. Haegi Department of Agronomy, Waite Agricultural Research Institute, Private Bag No. 1, Glen Osmond, S.A. 5064. Abstract A taxonomic account of the genus Datuva in Australia is presented. Wild populations of D. stramonium, D. ferox, D, leichhardtii, D, inoxia and D. wrightii occur and D. metel is cultivated and occasionally persistent. A comprehensive revision of the genus has not been attempted, but full descriptions based on a study of herbarium specimens, plants in the field and cultivated material are provided for each of the six species, of which five are naturalized aliens. D. leichhavdtii has generally been considered an Australian endemic but the closely related species D. pruinosa (which may be conspecific) occurs in central America. This raises the biogeographical problems of trans-Pacific distribution. Although the application of names is in accordance with current usage, some nomenclatural problems are outlined. A key for the identification of species is presented. The genus Brugmansia, often treated as a section of Datura, is represented in Australia only by species in cultivation. daturatax.pdf daturatax.pdf daturatax.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajna Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) thanks morg, according to that paper i'd be guessing it's b. candida, like rev said. edit: just been clearing a lot of the weeds off this land over the weekend, found another 4 or 5 of these brugs growing throughout!
