Hort. Berol. (1809) 227. 
According to Pinkley, the Kofans give this plant to dogs foran 
unspecified reason. It is possible that they believe that this 
treatment may enhance the animal’s prowess in the hunt. The 
Kofans refer to the plant as ain-vai(H. V. Pinkley 76, 506, cited in 
Pinkley: loc. cit.). 
This use may be related to the mydriatic properties of atropine.
