Bertholletia Excelsa
This furnishes the well known Brazil nuts,
or cream nuts of commerce. The tree is a native of South America
and attains a height of 100 to 150 feet. The fruit is nearly round
and contains from eighteen to twenty-four seeds, which are so
beautifully packed in the shell that when once removed it is found
impossible to replace them. A bland oil is pressed from the seeds,
which is used by artists, and at Para the fibrous bark of the tree
is used for calking ships, as a substitute for oakum.
