Know your flora II


Anyone want to guess the name of this shrub?
This little plant is very useful for relieving the effects of insect bites and reducing the swelling of gout.
The leaves must be crushed using mortar and pestle prior to use. The pulp is then rubbed onto the affected area. Effects can be realized within 5 to 10 minutes.
