A Remedy for Curiousity
One of visitors wanted to know what dadap tree looks like. Personally I don’t have the pictures, but I’ve ever found a site that obviously shows it. Below is the picture of dadap tree (Erythrina lithosperma Miq.) :

The laity can easily identify this medium tall tree with thorns on its yellowish trunk and branches like pustules on human skin. Known as the most sacred of trees in Bali, dadap tree is considered also a symbol of fertility.
Several parts of dadap tree are believed to have medicinal properties in Java. They are also used to treat various ailments such as fever, swelling, and cough. Anybody have ever utilized this medication?
