The flowers are the most striking feature, sweet fragrant white trumpets up to 8" long, often tinted purple, especially at the margin. There are 5 narrow points spaced symmetrically around the rim. In clear weather, flowers open at nearly full dark and wither a few hours after sunrise the following morning; in cloudy weather, they may open earlier and last longer. It is a vigorous herbaceous perennial that grows 30 cm to 1.5 m tall and wide. The leaves are broad and rounded at the base, tapering to a point, often with wavy margins.

In the U.S. it is sometimes called (Western) Jimsonweed because of its resemblance to Datura stramonium. Anglophonesettlers in California often called it "Indian whiskey" because of its ritual intoxicating use by many tribes; the name "sacred datura" has the same origin. Other common names include "Indian apple" and "nightshade" (not to be confused with Solanum). The Tongva call it manit and the Chumash momoy. Mexicans call this and similar species tolguacha or toloache.
The scientific name has frequently been given as Datura meteloides Dunal, but this name is actually a synonym of D. inoxia Mill., a Mexican plant with a narrower flower having 10 rather than 5 "teeth" at the rim.
Uses
Religious-
Datura wrightii is a sacred plant that has been used in sacred ceremonies and rites of passage by Chumash, Tongva, and other tribes. Among the Chumash, when a boy was 8 years old, his mother gave him a preparation of momoy to drink. This was supposed to be a spiritual challenge to the boy to help him develop the spiritual wellbeing that is required to become a man. Not all of the boys survived.[1]Momoy is a spiritual plant that helps with spiritual wellbeing among adults also. For instance, during a frightening situation, such as when seeing a coyote walk like a man, a leaf of momoy is sucked to help keep the soul in the body. The plant was also used to tell the future, especially when gambling.
