Brugmansis were initially known as Daturas. However, because Daturas were associated with being poisonous they did not sell very well. Thuspart of the family was renamed Brugmansias. They are still poisonous but as has been said earlier the flowers  are pendulous whereas the Datura flowers point upwards. Daturas (Thorn apples) are normally annuals whereas Brugmansias (Angels trumpets) are perennials but not winter hardy. 

It sounds as though there were more than sufficient botanical reasons for reclassification, but there's no denying it was convenient for the sellers!

Found these ,taken in Kings Heath Park tv garden.This is one of the gardens I did my training in.
