English translation: This tree has two names, in Longido we call it Lekiti, and in Isimanjiro we call it Olorien. Let me tell you what it is used for. I’ll refer to it as Olorien. Women take Olorien and use it to clean gourds, which is where the Maasai store milk. They use this tree to give the milk a pleasant scent and taste, and to help preserve it for a long time if it is stored in a cool place.
