SESUTO : Sebabetsane. The small bitter one. Mabone. Lights. 

 Monontsoa. The fattened one. Leghoaba. Meaning unknown. As a 

 cure for sore and swollen feet the plant is burnt and ground and then 

 placed in incisions made in the feet. This operation is performed at 

 the side of a stream in which the patient places his feet, letting the 

 blood run in the water, and he must remain there until he is relieved. 

 Burnt and ground to a powder it is mixed with tobacco. The above 

 Sesuto names and the uses are common to all the species of Mesem- 

 brianthemum.
