This plant is found all over the East Indies,
where its leaf is largely used by Indian natives as a masticatory.
Its consumption is immense, and has been said to equal that of
tobacco by Western peoples. It is prepared for chewing by
inclosing in the leaves a slice of the areca nut, and a small
portion of lime. It is thought to act as a stimulant to the
digestive organs, but causes giddiness and other unpleasant
symptoms to those not accustomed to its use.
