Explanation:
The common of meaning of bell is ghanti i.e. घंटी but you have pointed out that you want the Hindi equivalent in the botanical sense.

As per a botanical glossary, it means handsome, pretty (bellus / bellatus) in terms of botany. So, I have proposed the above Hindi alternatives.

Ghanti is the word for bell


Explanation:
In botanical sense bell is used only in this sense. It is used with the flowers of a family named 'companulaceae' whose flowers are bell shaped=ghanti jaise. The other meaning of bell is not clearly visible in botany except in case of bella dona, a herb, used as a medicine. bella=maiden/ayoung girl and dona with beautiful eyes. as the extract of this herb was used by maidens in spain. This made thr pupil of their eyes look beautiful. The term has come into english from spanish'belle'

In my opinion Dhatura flower is also bell shaped, but its botanical name is Dhatura alba. May this is the name of the indian species.

Example sentence(s):
  • The flowers of ipomea are bell shaped
