A clinging vine that grows well in arid and hot climates, especially in mineral-rich soil, such as clay or stone. It has an ash grey-green, thin, spindly vine stalk with tiny, round leaves arranged in sprays. It flowers after about 4-5 years with seasonal cycles of clusters of white and purplish buds which give off a heady perfume that in concentrations can induce hallucinations, lucid dreams, relaxation and drowsiness. It is popular in Ter’ays as everything from a smoking herb, ointment, medicinal tonic for insomnia and headaches, motif in weaving/illumination/sculpture, perfumes, cooking blends – as well as decoration, live or cut.
