Scientific Classification:
Leonotis Leonurus
Folklore:
The leaves of Leonotis leonurus (also known as Wild Dagga) were used by the Hottentot tribe of southern Africa because of its calming, sedative and euphoric effects.
The religion of the Hottentots is a mix of superstitious observances, of which travelers and folklorists have never been able to obtain a full explanation from the natives. The doctors are held in high esteem, and next to them the priests, who combined the duties of masters of ceremonies and surgeons in the monarchist rites. They actively sought out Leonotis leonurus, which is also known as "Wild Dagga" for its medicinal and euphoric effects.
