Abstract	Peeijpierkoe, alsoo genaamt bij de Malabaren, En bij de Cingaleesen Titta waddakole, is een rank die bij de boomen oploopt, de rank daar van gekneust, en in water gekookt, versterkt de maag, en verdrijft alle vergiftigheden. Zij vallen overal op Ceijlon. Peeijpierkoe, named by the Malabars and by the Sinhalese Titta waddakole, is a liana.
