The South American trumpet tree, so called
because its hollow branches are used for musical instruments. The
Waupe Indians form a kind of drum by removing the pith or center
of the branches. The inner bark of the young branches yields a
very tough fiber, which is made into ropes. The milky juice of the
stem hardens into caoutchouc.
