Alihotsy (also known as the Hyena tree) is a magical tree. The leaves of the plant can induce hysteria and uncontrollable laughter. The treacle produced by the Glumbumble acts as an antidote to the effects of Alihotsy leaves.
Finely chopped Alihotsy leaves are used as an ingredient for the Laughing Potion. The leaves' mirth-inducing properties can be damaged by stirring the potion too vigorously following its addition to the mixture.
Minister for Magic Wilhelmina Tuft died in office after discovering her allergy to Alihotsy-flavored fudge.
