“This is the real ghaapof the natives, who use it as a substitute for food and water. The sweet sap reminds one of licorice and when on one occasion thirst compelled me to follow the example of my Hottentot guide, it saved further suffering and removed the pangs of hunger so efficiently that I could not eat anything for a day after having reached the camp.”Marloth (1855–1931)
