Datura metel est une plante herbacée de la famille des Solanacées. Elle est connue en France métropolitaine sous le nom de métel, à La Réunion d'herbe diable et aux Antilles françaises de gwo konkonb a chyen ou de karapat bata. Synonymes : - (=) Datura alba Nees - (=) Datura chlorantha Hook. - (=) Datura fastuosa L. - (=) Datura metel var. fastuosa (L.) Saff. L'origine du Datura metel est problématique parce que c'est une plante cultivée et sélectionnée par l'homme depuis très longtemps dont aucune forme sauvage n'est connue.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Datura metel has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Datura metel carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Datura metel was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.
Signal
Where its DNA was found
How strong is each trace?
Modelled climatemodelled
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
