Chapa, whose scientific name is blumea lanceolaria, is an upright herb or small shrub that grows to a height of 100-250 cm.
The trunk is hollow and generally unbranched, usually with a woody bottom.
The leaves have an odor and are used to treat bronchitis, aphthae, and asthma.
Local people collect this plant from nature for use in traditional medicine and sometimes grow it for use as a spice.
