They USED to be in the same genuses...but they do not fall into the same any longer.

A Dat is a Dat and that's Dat.

A brug is a brug and thats in a book. If it is a updated one.

Of course some folks still try to sell or tell you that a Datura is the same as a Brug.

Any reason why you ask?
Or just wanted to clarify?

This is my 2nd season growing both intensely and Especially on Dats that came back from the ground from last year it was amazing to see the difference in them this year.

Same with the brugs.

Lucy, your English is great! There are people born in an English speaking country that don't do half as good as you!!!

As the ICRA Registrar for both of these genera, I can confirm that yes, they are distinct & separate. Below is a link to probably the most authoritative source possible; its the genera list at the International Society for Horticultural Science, where both are listed separately.
Also, all current publications list them separately. Two good ones for reference are "Brugmansia and Datura" by Ulrike & Hans-Georg Preissel, and "The European Garden Flora" by Stuart Max Walters and J. Cullen.
... although I think I like Lucy's explanation better. ;)
