A tree of British Guiana, which yields two alkalies-Bebeerine, Bebee'rina, Bebee'ria or Biberine, and Sipeerine; and in its properties resembles the Cinchonas. It has been referred to Nectan'dra Rodiei. Ord. Laurineae. The timber of the tree is known to shipbuilders by the name bibiru or green-heart. The Sulphate of Bebeeria has been employed in intermittents. Warburg's Fever Drops, Tinctu'ra antifebri'lis Warbur'gi, an empirical antiperiodic preparation, have by some been considered to be a tincture of the seeds of the Bebeeru, but this is questionable.
