Datura Stramonium, L. Sp. PI. ed. 1, p. 179. 



It is common in and round the village. It is called " Stra- 

 mondi," and used in medicine. The flowers open a little after 

 6 o clock, i. e. just after sunset. I never saw any insects at them, 

 though we watched them. It fruits extensively.

oemina plana rotundata reniformia brunnea punctata. 



Common in various parts of the main island in busby spots. 

 When growing in dry rocky or sandy spots it is more stunted 

 and spreading and very viscid, covered all over with the glan- 

 dular hairs. In the more bushy spots it is taller, slenderer, 

 and more herbaceous, and less pubescent. It seems to be quite 

 distinct from any form of P. Tiirsuta, Punal, as it has neither 

 violet anthers nor a spotted corolla. From P. minima, L., again 

 it differs in the shape of the calyx in fruit, which has an ovate- 

 acuminate outline, the free portion of the sepals being narrow, 

 lanceolate acute, and very hairy. The interior of the corolla is 

 very pubescent.
