Sceletium tortuosum
Sceletium tortuosum is a succulent plant commonly found in South Africa, which is also known as Kanna, Channa, Kougoed (Kauwgoed/ 'kougoed', prepared from 'fermenting' ''S. tortuosum'') - which literally means, 'chew(able) things' or 'something to chew'.
The generally recognised eight ''Sceletium'' species are ''S. crassicaule'', ''S. emarcidum'', ''S. exalatum'', ''S. expansum'', ''S. rigidum'', ''S. strictum'', ''S. tortuosum'' and ''S. varians''. Per Klak et al. (2007), an alternative classification for the ''Sceletium'' group is ''Mesembryanthemum crassicaule'', ''M. emarcidum'', ''M. exalatum'', ''M. expansum'', ''M. archeri'' (''S. rigidum''), ''M. ladismithiense'' (''S. strictum''), ''M. tortuosum'' and ''M. varians''.〔
== History ==
The plant has been used by South African pastoralists and hunter-gatherers as a mood-altering substance from prehistoric times. The first known written account of the plant's use was in 1662 by Jan van Riebeeck. The traditionally prepared dried ''Sceletium'' was often chewed and the saliva swallowed, but it has also been made into gel caps, teas and tinctures. It has also been used as a snuff and smoked.''
