Betel
« on: November 09, 2011, 05:11:42 AM »
I had never heard of a betel before. (An evergreen Indo-Malayan climbing or trailing shrub (Piper betle), having usually ovate leaves used to wrap betel nuts.)

Perhaps trees, shrubs, and other plants need to be treated similarly to fish?

I know about betel nuts.  Are they the ones that turn your teeth funny colors?  Never thought about it being the name of the tree, for some reason.
