The trumpet tree (Cecropia peltata) is native to tropical America where it is referred to as embauba tree. It is of the family, Urticaceae. It is very common in Jamaica as well as Haiti, where it is known as trumpet tree.
It can be found almost everywhere in Jamaica and it can become a
nuisance as well. I say this because when the leaves are dried, they
are blown all over the place and can make the yard look very messy.
This can be added work that you can well do without because of the constant raking up of leaves. It is however a very good tree to have around because of the medicinal benefits that can be derived from the leaves and other parts of the tree.
Many people are ignorant of this fact, but the elders are always knowledgeable of the medicinal benefits. The common names of the trumpet tree are Wild pawpaw, Guarina, Embauba and Snakewood.
The Central American Indians utilized the trunk of trumpet tree as drums, which they referred to as amboobus. These are used to relay messages in long distances.
Some of the chemical compounds of the tree includes, lipids, flavonoids, alkaloids, resins, tannins, glycosides, stearic acid, ursolinic acid, cardenolides, triterpenes, polyphenols, as well as steroids.
