Brugmansia suaveolens is a species from the genus of angel's trumpets ( Brugmansia ).
description
Brugmansia suaveolens is a shrub or tree up to 5 meters high , the branches of which are glabrous or bald. The leaves are 15 to 30 centimeters long, egg-shaped, pointed or tapered towards the front, rounded or blunt at the base. The leaf blade is downy to tomentose on both sides, especially along the leaf veins. The leaf stalks are 3 to 5 inches long and hairless.
The flower stalks are up to 5 inches long and can be hairless or hairy. The calyx is broadly tubular, expanded in the bud and continued to expand during the flowering period. After the flowering period, it falls off along with the crown . At the top of the calyx are five calyx-lobes, these are of the same shape, 2 to 3 centimeters long and can be blunt or pointed and hairless or hairy. The crown is tubular, 25 to 30 centimeters long, it can be white, pink or yellowish in color. The diameter of the corolla tube is only about 2/3 the diameter of the calyx tube, so that it is not completely filled. There is sometimes a slight enlargement in about half of the coronet. The coronet is curved, lobed, measures about 13 centimeters in diameter and has five narrow lanceolate lobes with a length of 10 to 15 millimeters. The outside of the crown is hairy, the inside glabrous.
The stamens are between the lower third and half of the crown, above the calyx. They can be bent to the knee, are hairy at the point of attachment and hairless towards the top. Occasionally they dry to a dark shade. The stamens are free to about 40 millimeters. The anthers are 25 to 35 millimeters long and fused into a narrow, cylindrical tube with a diameter of 4 to 6 millimeters, but occasionally they are also separated. You jump up alongside. The ovary is elongated-conical.
The fruit is a berry .
Occurrence
The species is native to South America and is found in Bolivia, Peru and Brazil.
Toxicity
The whole plant is very poisonous. The symptoms of poisoning can occur both through consumption and through skin contact or strong odor absorption. Psychogenic deficits such as dizziness and hallucinations, seizures, cardiac arrhythmias and palpitations, dilation of the pupils with loss of vision and, in the worst case, respiratory failure with fatal consequences can occur.
