Thespesia Populnea
A tropical tree, belonging to the mallow
family. The inner bark of the young branches yields a tough fiber,
fit for cordage, and used in Demerara for making coffee bags, and
the finer pieces of it for cigar envelopes. The wood is considered
almost indestructible under water, and its hardness and durability
render it valuable for various purposes. The flower buds and
unripe fruits yield a viscid yellow juice, useful as a dye, and a
thick, deep, red-colored oil is expressed from the seeds.
