English translation: This plant is dried to make into a good medicine. You know when it is ready because it has a good smell. When the warriors go into the forest and eat meat, they make a bush camp out of these ‘white leaves’. They are called this because one side of the leaf is white and one is green. Young maasai will tie this tree too their thighs because it has a very pleasant smell like perfume. They will also sleep on it in the forest: When they go into the forest and the mountains to eat meat, this plant is very lightweight and comfortable to sleep on, like a bed, especially if combined with a tree called ‘osendu’ found atop the mountain. The root of this plant can also be dug up and cooked in a soup as a medicine. It can also be cooked into a milk tea which tastes great. It’s called a ‘medicine for making’.
