I thought the\nscientific classification of plants was cut and dried. Not so. The datura is\nthe group to which most flowers commonly called angel's trumpet belong.\nThat's part of the problem: more than one flower is called angel's trumpet.\nSome sources list the brugmansia as a datura, others deny it. One web site\neven said that brugmansia was the true angel's trumpet, and that the common\nname of the various datura was devil's trumpet. So, I can't even establish\nwhich flower Wolfe had in mind. In the flower language the generic datura\nmeans \"deceitful charms\", but I can find nothing more specific and have no\nway of knowing if that is what Wolfe intended. Sorry.\n\n    Does anyone know what the \"purple creeper you're so proud of\" Agia told\nthe curator in the Botanic Gardens she had seen growing wild on a hillside\nin Cobblers Common might be?
