Sir,

I think this is Datura fastuosa L. of "Bengal Plants" = D. metel L. of FoC = KALO DHUTRA in Bengali.

I think i saw a post of this plant by Gurcharan Sir, but i fail to find the link.

Regards,

surajit

Usha Di,

I have seen this DHUTURA only in front-yard of a few people, never in the wild. Certainly will take a note in my next find.
