canna
this plant of the gods canna is called sceletium tortuseum .this is a mesumbrantheum family genus ioacia and ice plant family .this plant is of south africa.the hottentot tribal indinginous peoples use this plant in there cerimonial practices.this plant is a very delicate and long lived in harsh enviorments if not watered.it can retain moister for long peroids and has very nice daisy like flowers in spring to summer.is rare and sacred plant.the egyptians and other peoples use the same plants.

The processing of the raw coca into cocaine also has detrimental effects on the environment. Coca laboratories, or processing plants, use huge amounts of toxic chemicals to produce the final product. After the chemicals are used, the waste is simply dumped onto the ground, or directly into rivers. Chemical wastes include kerosene, sulfuric acid, lime, calcium carbide, acetone, toluene, and ethyl ether. Another waste product is hydrochloric acid, which can increase water pH, reduce oxygen availability, and lead to acute and chronic poisoning of fish. Similar environmental concerns relate to some coca eradication policies as well. For example, the use of herbicides to fight the growth of coca has been criticized for environmental reasons. Some of the herbicides found to be effective in eradicating coca species are also highly toxic chemicals that harm other plant species and find their way into surface and ground water. In Peru, opposition has resulted in cessation of U.S.-sponsored herbicide testing and data gathering. As an alternative to chemical control, biological control (bio-control) has been identified as a possible eradication method by The United Nations International Drug Control Programme. Though controversial, bio-control may provide an "environmentally benign" way to reduce coca production
The reality is that a smoothly functioning selective-breeding system is a greater threat to US antidrug efforts. Certainly government agents can switch to Fusarium and enjoy some short-term results. But after a few years - during which legal crops could be devastated - a new strain of Fusarium-resistant coca would likely emerge, one just as robust as the glyphosate-resistant strain. The drug war in Colombia presupposes that it's eventually possible to destroy cocaine at its source. But the facts on the ground suggest this is no longer possible. In this war, it's hard to beat technology developed 10,000 years ago. Contributing editor Joshua Davis (jd@joshuadavis.net) wrote about wiring the apocalypse in issue 12.04.
A genetic laboratory is not as nimble. A lab is limited by research that is publicly available. In the case of Fusarium, the coca-killing fungus and likely successor to glyphosate, there is no body of work discussing genetically induced resistance. If the government switched to Fusarium, a scientist would have to perform groundbreaking genetic research
this plant called sceletium tortuseum is a clumping plant and when it has growth it will be hardy and may grow fast.it grows in the form of reaching away from main stock,so it will reroot from runners making new plants.all tips eventually will turn into new flowers
