We were glad, therefore, to see this wonderful tree growing in its native wilds. It is one of the largest of the forest monarchs, and is peculiar in appearance on account of its deeply-scored reddish and ragged bark. A decoction of the bark, I was told, is used as a red dye for cloth.
The seringa-tree differs greatly from the group of plants which furnish the caoutchouc of Africa and the West Indies; the latter being the product of certain species of ficus of a climbing character, and inferior to the india-rubber of South America. Among the noblest of the forest monarchs appears a tree with deeply-scored reddish and ragged bark.
On going some distance through the forest, we saw a tree with deeply-scored reddish and rugged bark. "Surely nothing like white juice can come out of so rough a skin," I observed to Uncle Paul. "Wait till Sambo has put his axe through it. Cut hereabouts, Sambo," he said, pointing to a part of the trunk under which he could hold the bowl.
