calumbin

Where it comes from

From calumba + -in.

noun

uncountable A bitter white crystalline substance extracted from the calumba root (Jateorhiza palmata). Cissampelina, the intensely sweetish-bitter principle found in this body, is very like calumbin in some physical properties; yet we have been wont to associate other therapeutic ideas with pareira, than with calumba.
