'''Khat''' (''Catha edulis'', family [[Celastraceae]], [[Ge'ez alphabet|Ge'ez]] ጫት ''č̣āt''; [[Arabic alphabet|Arabic]]: قات; [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: {{IPA|[kat]}}), and also known as '''qat''', '''gat''', '''chat''', and '''miraa'''), is a [[flowering plant]] native to tropical [[East Africa]] and the [[Arabian Peninsula]]. Believed to have originated in [[Ethiopia]], it is a [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] growing to 5–8 m tall, with [[evergreen]] [[leaf|leaves]] 5–10 cm long and 1–4 cm broad. The [[flower]]s are produced on short axillary [[cyme]]s 4–8 cm long, each flower small, with five white petals. The [[fruit]] is an oblong three-valved capsule containing 1–3 [[seed]]s.
