Tinospora Cordifolia
A climbing plant, so tenacious of life that
when the stem is cut across or broken, a rootlet is speedily sent
down from above, which continues to grow until it reaches the
ground. A bitter principle, _calumbine_, pervades the plant. An
extract called galuncha is prepared from it, considered to be a
specific for the bites of poisonous insects and for ulcers. The
young shoots are used as emetics.
