Balsamocarpon Brevifolium






This shrub is the algarrobo of the

Chilians. It belongs to the pea family. Its pods are short and

the ripe pods become transformed into a cracked resinous

substance, when their tanning value is much impaired; this

resinous matter is astringent, and is used for dyeing black and

for making ink.
