In response to I have never heard posted by jerrib:Hi Jerri,
Being an ethnobotanist would be a fascinating career, I would think. There is another plant in the South Pacific called the yangona bush. It is commonly called the pepper plant because the roots are a bit spicy. The Melanesians and Polynesians have been using the pepper plant for years. The Chinese buy a million or two million dollars worth of the dried roots and are using them in kidney research.
