Overview:
Brugmansia is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae, native to subtropical regions of South America, along the Andes from Colombia to northern Chile, and also in southeastern Brazil. They are known as Angel's Trumpets, sharing that name with the closely related genus Datura. Brugmansia differs from Datura in being perennial and woody (Datura species are herbaceous), and in having pendulous (not erect) flowers.
Full List of Brugmansia Plants:
Brugmansia arborea. Andes (Ecuador to northern Chile).
Brugmansia aurea. Andes (Colombia to Ecuador).
Brugmansia longifolia
Brugmansia sanguinea. Andes (Colombia to Peru and Bolivia).
Brugmansia suaveolens. Southeast Brazil west to Bolivia and Peru.
Brugmansia versicolor. Ecuador.
Brugmansia vulcanicola.
Side Effects and Adverse Reactions:
All parts of Brugmansia plants contain dangerous levels of poison and may be fatal if ingested by humans or animals, including livestock and pets. Contact with the eyes can cause pupil diliation (mydriasis) or unequal pupil size (anisocoria).
Hallucinations caused by ingestion of Brugmansia are most commonly described as very unpleasant, however any recreational use is considered extremely dangerous because of the high risk of unintentional fatal overdose.
