One with the stature of Park seeds should know better. I have emailed them a couple of times about correcting that.

And yes - you are absolutely correct on botanical names. Likely percent of average person using other than common names is likely quite small. I sell at a farmer's market and mention common and botanical names to customers. Greater than 90 + % look at me quizically when I say the botanical.

From my experience over the past 20 years or so since I became interested in both these, I would guess that maybe 10 or so percent of places, web sites, et cetera incorrectly refer to Datura as Angels Trumpets.
