  1. A soft plant which was thick and juicy, having a sword shaped leaf called ''mullin'' was picked. It grew wild in some places, and was cultivated. The leaves were dried in the sun and later hung up in the kitchen. Then it was made into powder and smoked like tobacco. Mr MacNamara Ardane, Sixmlebridge, cultivated it.
