What is the common name for Datura Inoxia flower?

This is a large, white, night blooming flower in the form of an annual shrub, not to be confused with a vine of the morning glory family which is called moonflower. The blooms do not hang down like angel's trumpet.

What is the common name for Datura Inoxia flower?

Reply:Datura Inoxia is variously called angel's-trumpet, thorn-apple, downy thorn-apple, Indian-apple, moonflower, sacred datura, toloatzin, or toloache. Although it is not the same as the various plants you mentioned this is due to different people giving different plants the same name. If you want to be exact with any plant you'll have to use the latin name.
