A Summer surprise popping from bulbs! The bulb contains coccinine which is an alkaloid with a known convulsive action.
Fresh leaves were applied as a dressing to septic ulcers and sores and also to the pustules of anthrax. A diuretic was made from the sliced bulb boiled in vinegar and mixed with honey. Asthma was also treated with this mixture. www.plantzafrica.com
