Plants of Xhosa people in the Transkei region of Eastern Cape (South Africa) with major pharmacological and therapeutic properties

R.B. Bhat

Journal of Medicinal Plants Research

An ethnobotanical survey recording medicinal and other uses of 35 plant species among Xhosa people in the Transkei region of the Eastern Cape, including Cannabis sativa (umya, intsangu, matakwane) as a leaf medicine. A single-author survey in a low-prestige journal, attributed as such. The publisher DOI 10.5897/JMPR12.973 does not resolve, so the record cites the Academic Journals URL.
