Helichrysum petiolare, also known as the licorice-plant or liquorice plant, is a flowering plant native to South Africa and naturalized in parts of Portugal and the United States. It is a trailing evergreen subshrub with furry grey-green leaves and small white flowers. It is cultivated for its foliage and as groundcover, and numerous cultivars have been developed. In Southern Africa, it is known as imphepho and is used in traditional medicine and rituals. The plant has anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and is used to treat various ailments such as coughs, fever, and wounds. In rituals, imphepho is burnt to invoke and placate ancestors and is believed to increase spiritual awareness and psychic abilities. It is protected by South African law for its use in traditional beliefs.
