| Notes: | Label source: The Kafirs do not take the root as a dose but chew it for its agreeable aromatic taste. At the same time it acts as an excellent stomachic. The natives eat great quantities of the root. It loses its taste in drying. Letter A B White to D, r Hooker, Port Natal, Sep 25, 1868. | ||||
