Datura wrightii
Large white flowers, deep green leaves, growing in a bunch or a bush
Southern California desert
I saw this on a hike in Joshua Tree near an oasis. This was apparently used in Native American rites of passage in the past. It is poisonous and said to be hallucinogenic. It is illegal to cultivate these plants.
