Hartogiella schinoides

Recommended Posts

hey you all

anybody out there have any info on this plant? from what i can ascertain it was chewed by the locals in the western cape as a thirst quencher and stimulant, but so far can get no first hand info from anyone, did manage to get 4 seed which germinated, and 13 seedlings from under a tree, did taste the mature soft leaves and there is definitely an alkaloid in there, more bitter than catha even on unpruned trees,

will post a few pics of the big trees next time we up there.
