Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Datura metel L. var. purpurea

‘Brugmansia purpurea’ was probably a purple-flowered form of Datura metel L., which see.  I have found no specific reference to this plant.
