Kewa (plant)
''Kewa'' is a genus of flowering plants, consisting of eight species of succulent sub-woody plants, native to eastern and southern Africa, including Saint Helena and Madagascar. These are small shrubs or herbs that form cushions and have edible, acid-tasting leaves. ''Kewa'' is the only genus in the family Kewaceae. The species were formerly included in the genus ''Hypertelis'' of the family Molluginaceae, but molecular studies have shown that most species did not belong there, but were rather distantly related to Molluginaceae, being placed in a clade comprising Aizoaceae, Gisekiaceae and Barbeuiaceae. Only the type species ''Hypertelis spergulacea'' remains in Molluginaceae; all others are transferred to the genus ''Kewa'', which was named for Kew, where the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew are situated.

Kewa is an Engan language complex of the Southern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea. A dictionary of the western dialect of Kewa has been compiled by . Kewa pandanus register Kewa's elaborate pandanus avoidance register, which is used only in the forest during the karuka harvest, has been extensively documented. The grammar is regularized and the vocabulary is restricted, with about a thousand words that differ from normal language. This was first described by Karl J. Franklin in 1972. Pandanus-register words have a broader semantic scope. For example, ''yoyo'', a reduplication of ''yo'' 'leaf', refers to hair, ear, breast, and scrotum, all things which hang from the body as pandanus leaves hang from the tree. ''Palaa,'' 'limb,' (either thigh or branch) is used for any reference to trees, including root, firewood, and fire. (Even in normal Kewa, ''repena'' means both 'tree' and 'fire'.) ''Maeye'' or 'crazy' refers to any non-human animal except dogs. It contrasts with the ...
