Es buena para la digistión, y purifica los intestinos, especialmente cuando se come en ayunas.
\nHay otra yerba que se llama coyocuexi. Es semejante al huitzquílitl que arriba se dixo. No es espinosa. Tallece y florece. No la usan comer los muchachos ni muchachas. Es amarga y empece a la garganta, porque hace la voz ronca, especial a los muchachos y muchachas, y por eso no la usan comer.
\nHay otra yerba que se llama popóyauh. Es como mata. Es pintada de negro y verde. Cómese cruda y cocida. Amásanle con maíz y hacen tortillas della.
\nHay otra que se llama mexixi. Es quemosa. Tiene pequeñitas hojas. Cómese cruda y cocida y mezclado con maíz, y hecha tortillas o tamales. Y si se come mucha della, cría enpollas y hace demasiado calor. Los tamales con esta yerba hechos llámanlos mexixquiltamalli; y a las tortillas llaman mexixquillaxcalli. La semilla desta yerba es amarilla y de hechura de lentexas. Cómenla mucho las tortolillas. Hacen atul o mazamorra desta yerba a los que tienen cámaras de materia y sangre. Esta semilla tiene la propiedad de purificar los intestinos.
