African dream root whole root from South Africa
This African dream root is offered as whole root from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, in selectable 25 g and 100 g weights. The supplier identifies the material as Silene capensis, a familiar trade name that remains useful on labels and in older ethnobotanical references.
Botanical identity in current references
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew treats Silene capensis as a synonym of Silene undulata subsp. undulata. The South African National Biodiversity Institute describes Silene undulata as a perennial member of the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. Its sticky, glandular growth, opposite leaves and white to pinkish flowers describe the living plant; the item sold here is specifically the root, not foliage, flowers or seed.
Eastern Cape context
SANBI records dream root as an English common name and documents the plant across southern and tropical Africa. Its account gives particular attention to the Eastern Cape, where the species is one of the plants associated with the isiXhosa category ubulawu. That context identifies why the root is widely recognised in ethnobotanical collections, without turning traditional records into a promise about personal results.
The same institutional account notes that roots are traded in local markets and raises conservation concerns around harvesting from wild populations. That is important general context, but it does not establish how this particular commercial batch was sourced. The declared product origin remains the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Choose the appropriate weight
- Material: whole root
- Trade botanical name: Silene capensis
- Current taxonomic cross-reference: Silene undulata subsp. undulata
- Origin: Eastern Cape, South Africa
- Options: 25 g or 100 g
The 25 g option suits a compact reference sample, while 100 g is the larger listed quantity for buyers who already know the material. Both choices are the same whole-root presentation; the variation is weight only.
