Datura- a Devil Weed Or Angel's Trumpet
Datura- A Devil Weed Or Angel’s Trumpet. Review Article by : Shaheen Bibi Email: [email protected] 1 Datura Inoxia- A Devil weed or Angel’s Trumpet Abstract Datura is a mystery Plant. It belongs to family Solanaceae. There are many important species of genus Datura. Despite of many reports about being toxic, its still debated for its medicinal properties. The genus Datura has a vast history from early time through World War till modern times. Since long time, Datura has been used as a folk medicine in many ancient cultures and even used today. The ethnobotanical information predicts its useful drug value. This plant is well known for its hallucinogenic property. Heiser states that Datura is genus of contrast-from smelly weeds to lovely ornamentals”. 38 Analyzing the chemical profile of Datura , it is reported to be rich in alkaloids. These alkaloids are member of Tropane. Important tropines are Atropine, Scopolamine and Hyoscyamine. The highest in percentage of atropine in D.inoxia is found in its seeds.39 Datura can cause various complications. Some of its effects are systemic. The primary and alarming sign of toxicity with D.inoxia is mydriasis i.e. the change in pupil centration 40,41. Atropine also has the hallucination effect. It blocks the action of acetylcholine at its receptors. Datura inoxia foliage is also harmful for grazing animals or animals that feed on the seeds. Datura inoxia has an anticholinergic property. This property is due to presence of Scopolamine 18. Interestingly, there are beetles and some bees that survive on Datura and they have established certain biochemical mechanisms to defend themselves against the plants intoxicating chemicals. -
Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

Daturaferox L. and D. Quercifolia Kunth (Solanaceae) in Algeria
Flora Mediterranea 9 - 1999 57 Z. Houmani, L. Cosson & M. Houmani Daturaferox L. and D. quercifolia Kunth (Solanaceae) in Algeria Abstract Haumani, Z., Cassan, L. & Haumani, M.: Datura ferox L. and D. quercijiJ/ia Kunth (So[anaceae) in Algeria. - Fl. McdiI. 9: 57-60. 1999. - ISSN 1120-4052. Twa weedy Datura species found in So/anum tl/bertisl/m field s in Al geria were identified as new for the Algerian flora. Bath produce tropanic alkaloids and are particularly rich in scopolamin. Introduction During our prospecting of various regions of Algeria for alkaloid producing plants, two weedy Datura species were found that have been identified as D. ferox L. and D. quercifolia Kunth. The present paper draws attention to these two taxa, productive of tropanic alkaloids which are know for their phannaceutical properties (Goodwin & Mercer 1983). They add to the many plants with tropanic alkaloids that are known as members of the wild flora of Algeria (Houmani & Cosson 1996). Material and methods Both species occur as weeds in Solanum tuberosum L. fields in the locality of Rouina, department of Chlef (formerly El Asnam), c. 180 km in the W of Algiers. 15 adult plants, each with at least 3 ripe fruits, were harvested on 15 July 1991. A soil sample was taken for analysis at the foot of each plant. Species identification was effected with the aid of works on Datura by Safford (1922) and Satina & A very (1959), with assistance from Abdelkader Belouad, responsible for the herbarium of the National Agronomie Institute in Algiers, where vouchers have been deposited. -

The most important family was Asteraceae with 22 species, followed by Fabaceae s.l. with 11, and Solanaceae with eight. More than 90 general medicinal indications were recorded to treat a wide range of illnesses and ailments. The highest number of species and applications were reported for digestive system disorders (stomach ailments and liver problems), musculoskeletal body system (rheumatism and the complex of contusions, luxations, sprains, and swellings), kidney and other urological problems, and gynecological disorders. Some medicinal species had magic connotations, e.g. for cleaning and protection against ailments, to bring good luck, or for Andean offerings to Pachamama, ‘Mother Nature’. In some indications, the separation between medicinal and magic plants was very narrow. Most remedies were prepared from a single species, however some applications were always prepared with a mixture of plants, e.g. -
