Etymology
Jimsonweed comes from the place name Jamestown. One popular story says people in Jamestown ate the plant and became very sick, so they called it 'Jamestown weed', and the name slowly changed in speech to 'jimsonweed'. That's why the name tells you it is a poisonous weed with large, trumpet-like flowers.
