Datura metel or Kecubong is a shrub of 3 to 6 feet tall. Its flowers and seeds have prompted villagers to cultivate it in their gardens. The leaves and flowers of the Kecubong may be used to treat rheumatism. By pounding them with shallots and ginger, the paste may be applied to affected parts of the body. The leaves are also known to relieve pain from bruises, boils and sores. Care should be taken, however, as the fruit is poisonous.
