Cephaelis Ipecacuanha
Baill.
Ipecac (E); Raicilla (S); Poaja (C). the roots are collected avidly in Darien. As the ipecac of commerce, it is a valuable emetic for children who have ingested poison, and is still used widely, even in the United States. There is a Darien belief that where the plant occurs, there is a snake around (!). In Colombia, it is chewed as an ambeicide and as an insect repellent.
