Sapindus Saponaria
The soapberry tree. The fruit of this plant
is about the size of a large gooseberry, the outer covering or
shell of which contains a saponaceous principle in sufficient
abundance to produce a lather with water and is used as a
substitute for soap. The seeds are hard, black, and round, and are
used for making rosaries and necklaces, and at one time were
covered for buttons. Oil is also extracted from the seeds and is
known as soap oil.
