  • 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.

  • 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.

Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L.

M.P. India. ABSTRACT Plants have prodigious potential for the treatment and managing of many diseases and have been used in many nations for the management of different diseased conditions. The medicinal value of plants lies in their bioactive phytochemical elements that yield definite physiological activities in living beings. Many medicinal plants comprehend some chemical elements that may cause injurious effects to humans if consumed in large quantities. Alkaloids occurring in large amounts could make plants poisonous despite its medicinal effects. Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants fitting to the family Solanaceae. They are known as angel's trumpets, occasionally sharing that name with the closely related genus Brugmansia, and ordinarily known as daturas.

  • Chapter I - Introduction
    CHAPTER I - INTRODUCTION Forensic toxicology is a multidisciplinary field that involves the detection and interpretation of the presence of drugs and other potentially toxic compounds in bodily tissues and fluids. This acts as defensible evidence in the court of law. Forensic toxicology continues to be a dynamic field with evolving technology applications. Forensic toxicologists take care of the science of poison detection in human organs and body fluids. Datura is a genus of nine species of vespertive flowering plants that belongs to the family of Solanaceae. They are commonly known as Datura but also known as Devil’s trumpet, and also Jimsonweed, Devil’s weed, Thorn apple and moonflower. There are nine species of Datura worldwide of which Datura metel is distributed widely in Asia and in Africa. As all Datura plants contain tropane alkaloids such as Atropine, Scopolamine, and Hyoscamine which are primarily present in the seeds and flowers. The word Datura comes from the early Sanskrit word dhattūra or Sanskrit Dustural or dahatura meaning white thorn apple originally published by Linnaeus in 1753.[18] There are several species of Datura that belong to the Solanaceae family and those species are as follows:- Datura metel commonly known as devils trumpet Datura stramonium also called as jimsonweed or thorn apple Datura innoxia also known as toloache, moonflower Datura wrightii also called as sacred datura Datura ferox commonly known as long spined thorn apple Datura discolor called as desert thorn apple Datura ceratocaula called as torna loco Datura leichhardtii also called as Leichhardt’s Datura quercifolia known as oak leaf thorn apple [13] In ancient Indian literature Datura is referred to as Shivashehara because the flowers are believed to be associated with Lord Shiva also used in rituals and prayers to Shiva.

    AN ANNOTATED VASCULAR FLORA AND FLORISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE NATURE CONSERVANCY DAVIS MOUNTAINS PRESERVE, JEFF DAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, U.S.A. Jeffrey James Keeling Sul Ross State University Box C-64 Alpine, Texas 79832-0001, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT The Nature Conservancy Davis Mountains Preserve (DMP) is located 24.9 mi (40 km) northwest of Fort Davis, Texas, in the northeastern region of the Chihuahuan Desert and consists of some of the most complex topography of the Davis Mountains, including their summit, Mount Livermore, at 8378 ft (2554 m). The cool, temperate, “sky island” ecosystem caters to the requirements that are needed to accommo- date a wide range of unique diversity, endemism, and vegetation patterns, including desert grasslands and montane savannahs. The current study began in May of 2011 and aimed to catalogue the entire vascular flora of the 18,360 acres of Nature Conservancy property south of Highway 118 and directly surrounding Mount Livermore. Previous botanical investigations are presented, as well as biogeographic relation- ships of the flora. The numbers from herbaria searches and from the recent field collections combine to a total of 2,153 voucher specimens, representing 483 species and infraspecies, 288 genera, and 87 families. The best-represented families are Asteraceae (89 species, 18.4% of the total flora), Poaceae (76 species, 15.7% of the total flora), and Fabaceae (21 species, 4.3% of the total flora). The current study represents a 25.44% increase in vouchered specimens and a 9.7% increase in known species from the study area’s 18,360 acres and describes four en- demic and fourteen non-native species (four invasive) on the property.
