As is often the case with common names for flowers, there are other blooms that go by the same name, including, in the case of moonflower, datura (, which I saw in Timor-Leste, and which you may have seen there too (or possibly where you are now). But this moonflower is in the morning glory family (Ipomoea--it's Ipomoea alba)
