Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Contribution to South African Materia Medica: Chiefly From Plants in Use Among the Natives
The Plants described here have most of them been in use among the Natives for medicinal purposes probably for a very long period. Some of them are well known; others are known only to a few, who keep the knowledge of their virtues to themselves with profound secrecy, and occasionally mislead people by showing them some other plant, or by ascribing to a plant some use very difierent from its real one.
