Lesi sihlahla lesincame/lesimfisha lesinemacembe layisiliva kanye netimbali letimhlophe tibitwa ngekutsi yi Eriocephalus Africanus phindze sakumndeni we Asteraceae. Satsiywa emva kwesitselo lesineboyana ngetulu leseCape snowbush lekutsiwa yi kapokbos nge Sibhunu. La Ningizimu Afrika kunetihlahla letiyincumbi letimashumi lamatsatfu nakune eEriocephalus, tonkhe tinetitselo letisantsambo. Le Eriocephalus Africanus (Cape snowbush) akudzingi iphambaniswe ne Eriocephalus punctulatus noma iCape chamomile.
Ngesintfu sisetjentiswa ngema Khoi kantsi nebahlali bakucala base kapa bafaka kulapha sisu njengekukhulisa simo kanye nendlela yekuphumula. Kwaphindze kwacatjangwa kutsi isita kukhulisa tinwele, kubulala kutsatseka kanye nekususa/kuhambisa imimoya/imicondvo lemibi.
Kufana ne rosemary, iCape snowbush inekusebenta lokujabulisako phindze isebenta njengendlela yekunciphisa kucindzeteleka, phindze kukhulula imizwa yetinkinga, kutfuka kanye nekukwata/kukhubeka.
Lo oyili ukhulula buhlungu lobutsite (kumamasela, kuphefumula kalukhuni, kugaya esiswini) futsi iyasebenta kumisa kuphuma kwengati. Indlela yekuvikela kwayo nekuhambisa sifo ivikela lomtimba kutsi ingatseleleki. Iyasetjentiswa njenge kunciphisa lizinga lemchamo (kucosha ingoti emtimbeni), kulapha kukhwehlela kane nemikhuhlane kane nekupholisa inhloko lebuhlungu. Ngekushikisha lamacembe, lesihlahla sinika liphunga Lelisa camphor lelisha.
Ilinywa/ikhuliswa kakhulu eNamaqualand, Western nase Eastern Cape. Lamacembe esiliva asita kukhombisa lilanga, anciphise lizinga lesimo kumacembe nasekuphefumuleni. Lena nguyinye yetindlela lesihlahla lesitfola kubamba emanti ngayo nasikhula etimeni letomile. Le Eriocephalus icolela lilanga leligcwele kanye nemhlabatsi losefeke kahle.
Inchazelo Yemutsi
Lwati lwalemfundvo kanye netidzingo telwati kuphela ngekutsi kungahle kungatsatfwa njengekucebisa ngekwemutsi. Lolwati alukahlelwa kutsi lumelele kucebisa ngekwemutsi noma kwelapha lokunikwa tati letibuke temphilo.
