Woolly caper trees grow on dry plains, termite mounds and floodplains. The roots are believed to be poisonous. Livestock browse on the leaves and many species of butterfly are attracted to their flowers and leaves. Medicinal uses include curing colds, treatment of snakebites, infertility and impotence. If you mix a concoction of powdered roots and other magical substances, paste them to the end of a stick and point them towards a group of cumulus nimbus clouds, the storm will disappear.
