| Notes: | Label source: The leaves, stems and seeds are pounded together and then taken to a small stream or lock and washed out in the water the result of which is to cause all the fish a couple of hundred feet down the stream to come to the surface belly upwards, . The Indians say that the fish get drunk from the effects of the juice contained in the plant, fish taken are quite wholesome for food. | ||||
