Piper Betel
This plant belongs to the _Piperaceae_. Immense
quantities of the leaves of this plant are chewed by the Malays.
It tinges the saliva a bright red and acts as a powerful stimulant
to the digestive organs and salivary glands; when swallowed it
causes giddiness and other unpleasant symptoms in persons
unaccustomed to its use.
