The aboriginal Indians of the basin of
the Rio de la Plata, the Guarani knew
and used the plant long before the in

When these Indians were subdued, es-
pec1ally by the Jesuit missionaries, they
we're found to be using a drink made of
plant that grew wild and abundant
over the subtropical region in which they
lived Caa was the name given to this
plant by the Guarani. caa means simply
weed. and the Europeans, translatine lit
orally, called 1t yerba, equivalent To the
