The Jila-Andundo occurs about dwellings on rubbish heaps ; in 
Dembos it is called ‘‘Mutumbella” ; in both the districts it is used 
as a narcotic to drug palm wine. When a robbery takes place, the 
negroes use a mixture of palm wine with the pounded leaves of 
Jila-Andundo in order to discover the thief: the mixture when 
drunk produces a condition bordering on madness.
