Native of Mexico. N.A. range not clear.
AbundanceVery rare.
HabitatDump (Edgecombe Co.), roadside (Wrightsville Beach).
PhenologyFlowering and fruiting September-October.
IdentificationThis rarely seen species is similar to the much more widespread D. stramonium, but its tubular white flowers are longer (greater than 4 inches long vs. mostly less than 4 inches long in that species).
Taxonomic CommentsAlso spelled as inoxia. Synonyms include D. meteloides, D. metel, and D. wrightii. Weakley (2018) suggests that it may not be taxonomically distinct from D. wrightii, and the editors concur.
