Guarea Trichiloides

This plant, which grows in the Deccan peninsula, Assam, and some parts of

Africa, is a woody climber with long, slender branches. The powdered root has a reputation

among the natives as a remedy for snake-bite. It is mentioned here an account of a single

symptom observed from chewing one or two leaves, which had a bitterish, astringent, and

slightly acid taste. Immediately after chewing them the sense of taste for sugar was lost, and also

the taste for bitters, the effect lasting some hours. Everything else could be tasted, as the ginger

in gingerbread but not the sweet. Quinine tasted like chalk.
