            Thanks.  U are probably correct.  It is related to 
          Apocynum androsaemifolium -- Dogbane -- right?  A tea made  
          from it tastes just AWFUL!  But only a couple of sips will  
          knock u out for the night.  Take too much and it is  
          poisonous.  At least that is what I hear.  Only used it  
          once, and have no desire ever to taste it again.  Please  
          post more on this stuff if u have it.

religious ceremony!  Honest!
