También llaman a esta liga tlazali, porque es muy pegaxosa.
\nHay otra yerba que se llama yiamoli. En ellas se hacen unas manzanitas negras, y son muy amarcas. Son medicina de la caspa de la cabeza.

\nIt is sticky and also just like amolli. It is a medicine for broken bones. When one fractures his bones, when they have set them, splints are pressed on; they are covered with tecpatli. Also it is a snare, a trap; birds are taken with it. It is hung on the grass at the drinking place, the eating place of the birds. They creep there; so they are caught, stuck on. Hence it is called, given the name, “bird-catcher”; for it is very sticky, and the birds are stuck to it. It becomes glued to one.
\nI apply tecpatli to something. I catch something with tecpatli. I hunt [with tecpatli].
\nIt is dark. Its stem is long and slender, herb-green. Its leaves glisten. They are slender. It has berries; its berries are purple. Its berries are medicine for dandruff.
