Jimsonweed

(Datura stramonium)

Jimsonweed plant in a pot with arrows pointing to a cotyledon (one of the first leaves to appear from a germinating seed) and the first true leaf, which is entire and has a foul smell. Jimsonweed seeds next to a dime for size comparison. The seeds are dark brown and round.

VS

Buffalobur

(Solanum rostratum)

Buffalobur plant in a pot with arrows pointing to a cotyledon and the first true leaf, which is lobed and has no smell. Buffalobur seeds are dark brown and slightly smaller than jimsonweed seeds.

Remember:

One weed seed is enough to start an infestation.
