Datura ferox (not yet in the plant selection list).The plant looks similar to Datura stramonium but the fruit is quite different. See page 484 of Weeds of the South-East by Richardson, Richardson and Sheffield. Both species are in the same patch.

I agree with D. fexox - very distinctive fruit - I accidentally suggested D. stramonium!
