Ζορνές, Ντατούρα η αβλαβής
Etymology of Datura innoxia: The generic name "Datura" is taken from Sanskrit "धतूरा" [dhatūra], meaning "thorn-apple", and ultimately from Sanskrit "धत्तूर" [dhattūra], meaning "white thorn-apple", referring to the Datura metel species of Asia; white because of the white flowers of Datura metel and thorn-apple because of the prickly-spined fruit resembling an apple. The first known use of the word "datura" was in 1598. This Datura was named after the English botanist Philip Miller with the Latin epithet "innoxia" meaning "harmless, not noxious", in 1768, referring to its non-invasive nature.
There are at least two Datura kinds (both species) growing on their own in Cypriot nature.
Datura innoxia is a relatively common naturalized, non-invasive plant. It primarily appears in gardens. It is encountered up to a maximum altitude of 150 metres in southwestern, central-southern, southeastern, and central-northern Cyprus. It usually blooms between June and October.
