kwanapit
[konapwit] n. herb to 50 cm, flowers pink (collection: Michael J. Balick #4721)
Example: This plant is used to treat diarrhea. A person takes 1 handful of leaves, washes the soil off, chews them and gets the juice out of the leaves, spits out the fibers and left over parts of the leaves. Chew this regularly until the diarrhea goes away if a person has a bad case; for a mild case, chew only once. It is said that a person has to "listen to the plant" until the diarrhea stops. It is said to be better for this condition than Psidium (guava).

The leaves can also be used to bake a pig in an earth oven, wrap the leaves around the pig. The wood is good for firewood and a person can start the dried wood with no match. The leaves of this plant can be eaten with another, unspecified leaf to stop vomiting. When the fruits are ripe the flying fox and birds like to eat these fruits.

nuak
n. vine climbing up ficus wasa tree to a height of 5 m above ground, growing in open forest heavily impacted by cyclone. flowers purplish-blue with white throat. (collection: Gregory M. Plunkett #3242)
Example: When women go to the garden and have a backpack or basket, they tie it up with this vine--the vine makes an excellent rope overall. When a person catches a bird, climb a tree and put sap from this vine in its eye to blind him so he does not fly away. Apply this to small chicks in their nest. Birds then will grow to eating size and not fly away. When children have an ear infection that yields pus, chew the young leaves of this plant and spit into their ear to stop the pus that is coming out. If a person wants to drink from a pool of dirty water, put the vine in it to help purify the water.
