May you please check with  Datura ferox  once again.?

[sibdas ghosh]

It is difficult to distinguish between the two sp. from Photos, but D. ferox is an introduced sp., unlikely to be found in a remote village of Bengal.

The two species can be conclusively differentiated from fruits and seeds. The capsules of D. ferox are on erect stalks, lower spines are much shorter, upper longer, seeds black or grey. In D. inoxia capsules are on recurved stalks, spines almost equally longer, seeds yellow or brown. Could you please locate plant with fruits?
