''Datura metel'' is a shrub-like perennial herb, commonly known as devil's trumpet and metel. ''Datura metel'' grows in the wild in all the warmer parts of the world, such as India and is cultivated worldwide for its chemical and ornamental properties. It was first described by Linnaeus in 1753, but no botanically correct illustrations or descriptions were made until after the New World was settled. It is not possible to be sure about its original home. The plant is an annual herb growing up to 3 ft. high. It is slightly furry, with dark violet shoots and oval to broad oval leaves that are often dark violet as well. The pleasantly-scented 6-8 in. flowers are immensely varied, and can be single or double. Colors range from white to cream, yellow, red, and violet. The seed capsule is covered with numerous conical humps and a few spines.〔 It is similar to ''D. inoxia'', but ''D. metel'' has almost glabrous leaves and fruits that are knobby, not spiny. ''D. inoxia'' is pilose all over and has a spiny fruit. ==Medicinal use== ''D. metel'' is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is called ''yáng jīn huā'' (洋金花). However, the ingestion of ''D. metel'' in any form is dangerous and should be treated with extreme caution.
