pareira

Chondrodendron tomentosum, a large tropical liana native to Central and South America, and a source of tubocurare.

Cissampelina, the intensely sweetish-bitter principle found in this body, is very like calumbin in some physical properties; yet we have been wont to associate other therapeutic ideas with pareira, than with calumba.

A tonic diuretic drug derived from various South and Central American plants.
