There are 3 sorts; the above description belongs more to the black which I believe is the same as the Roxo or purple it is furnished with oblong shining leaves of a good green, the wood close and with long fibres. The two other sorts vizo the branco or white and the vermelho or red vary only in colour. One of the sorts but I am uncertain which, is serves for dyeing black. They are used in building and very durable excellentfor knees in ship building and used also for spindles. It is so common as frequently to be used for fire wood.

The seeds however have certainly 'the flavour and warmth of camphor' as Sir JES states. I consider these fruits to be also identical with the bunch of two fruits attached to the top left hand corner of the paper marked 'Amomum gran. paradisi' in Sir JG Smith's herbarium and which fruit are excellently fig'd by Pereira in his Elem.Mat.Med. Ed 1850 p.1130 (see my note book 3.1423.) The fruits from which the plant fig'd. in Bol.Mag.Tab 4603 as Am. granum paradisi was raised are identical with these. DH.  A specimen of this fruit at the Linnean Society is thus marked in the handwriting of Dr Afzelius 'Amomum  N:64. Massa-anquona'

Prekese - a West African fruit.  (See ECOS enquiry 62.94) This is widely used as a herbal medicine in West Africa, as the enclosed extracts from Dalziel (1937) and Iwu(1993) indicate.  Scientific studies have isolated biologically active ingredients, which support its use in medicines.  Glycoside - oleanolic acid - anticonvulsant (mice) Planta Medica 36, 1979. Sopoletin - hypotensive (rats), chronotropic, and inotropic actions (guinea pig isolated atria), neuromuscular blocking activity, possible non specific spasmolytic agent (Planta Medica 49, 1983).  There is always a danger that medicinally active ingredients could, in sufficiently high doses be toxic, but I could find little data regarding this.  The only reference I found to toxicity data is for the volatile oil of the fruit (Fitoterapia LXIV, No 1, 1993), which I have enclosed.  I hope that this will help in your evaluation of this plant.  (F Cook) Fruit is widely available in shops and stalls catering for the West African population  in Hackney.

ScientificName: Algae

occurrenceRemarks:
This seaweed is of a dull green colour, having lost its original purplish red tint by exposure to air and heat probably. It is well known that all seaweeds contain chlorophyll, the green colour of which in the case of red algae is hidden by a red colouring matter, phycerythrine, and in the black or olive algae by phycophaeine and phycoxanthine. By the action of fresh water and heat the colouring matter which conceals the chlorophyll is destroyed, and the presence of the latter becomes evident. From the quanity of sand and foreign matter present, the discolouration in this case would appear to be due to the action of the heat of the sun on a sandy shore, rather than to the effects of fresh water.

(Marchesettia spongioides, Hanck).  Received from the Herbarium 24.02.1910.  A remarkable example of an animal and vegetable living together in symbiosis.  Ceratodictyon is a marine alga which is only known as growing in association with various specias of sponge.  The alga, a member of the Rhodymeniales, is composed of a much branched cellular system, which forms a dense network.  The meshes of this network are filled up with the substance of the sponge and the whole plant is clother on the outside withthe animal constituent.  The growing apices of the joint organism usually consist solely of algal branches.  Geographical distribution - Indian Ocean and warmer regions of the Pacific.

occurrenceRemarks:
Note from JHH (May 30th 1904) as follows: Panama Hats, Carludovica insignis, grows in the damp forests of Ecuador, Peru and New Grenada, and yields the straw from which Panama Hats, cigar cases etc are made.  Another species Carludovica jamaicensis, known as the Ippi-appa plant is named after the island in which it is indigenous where it grows in sheltered valleys near water.  The method of preparing the straw is to take a young unopened leaf and divide it down the centre leaving a portion of stalk attached to each half.  From the two sides of each half the ribs or nerves are torn away.  After being boiled in water to enable the segments of the leaf to be stripped off down to the stalk, the straw  is exposed to the action of the sun and dew for three days and nights, the alternate bleaching and drying constitute the curing process.  A leaf of the ippi-appa plant produces one head of straw, and a hat requires from ten to twelve heads.  See Pharm. Journ. (4) XVI 89, and Bull. of Bot. Dept. Jamaica 9.145. Carludovica jamaicensis Lodd. Ind. occ. (sp. dub.) in Addenda et Emendanda of K.Ludex? Exhibited in  Plants + People exhibition Museum No 1, Kew. May 1998 to May 2016.

ScientificName: Ischnosiphon arouma
scientificNameAuthorship: (Aubl.) Körn.
kingdom: Plantae
family: Marantaceae
genus: Ischnosiphon
specificEpithet: arouma
occurrenceRemarks:
Bought from the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) in Manaus, from the Maiongong Indians.  Woven from the outer layer of split stems of Ischnosiphon arouma.  The black dye is prepared by mixing the sticky resin from the bark of certain Inga species with a fine soot produced by the burning of Protium (Burseraceae) resin.  The rim is stiffened with an unknown wood, and bound with fibres from the leaves of Bromelia sp (Bromeliaceae), which have been rubbed in resin from a guttiferous tree (probably Symphonia globulifera L.f.) According to Francoise Barbira Friedman (Dept of Social Anthropology, Univ. Cambridge), this food plate shows a design of the Panare Indians of the Orinoco.  It has probably been made for the tourist trade as it is too flimsy.  Paul Healey (Granade Unit, University of Manchester) has written a book on Panare design.

scientificNameAuthorship: (Blume) M.Roem.
kingdom: Plantae

specificEpithet: macrocarpa
occurrenceRemarks:
Seeds from the fruit are mixed with those of 73441, and stored with that fruit. A climber in the tropical forests of Malay (Thailand, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Aru Islands, New Guinea, Philippines).  When ripe the fruit opens at the top by three inflexed valves and the silky seeds are released.  They float about for some time like large butterflies and clouds of them are frequently seen out at sea.  The seeds are unique in the Cucumber family to which the plant belongs.  In this fruit there were 545 seeds. In parts of New Guinea this plant is the most conspicuous in the low forest along the coast.  It obliterates whole trees with dense walls of verdure, while the fallen fruits, rotting on the ground, are most striking objects.  Communicated by Mr Murray, Director of Agriculture, Rabul, New Guinea.

occurrenceRemarks:
Tea being developed by the National Botanical Institute in South Africa.  Donated by Iain Prance, Director. Leaflet enclosed as follows: A viable honeybush tea industry would contribute to the economy and job opportunities in rural communities over a relatively large area. This delicious, indigenous herbal tea contains very little, if any caffeine and has a considerably lower content of tannins than the oriental teas.  Users claim this tea to have several health properties.  The tea is made from the shoots of Cyclopia sp.  These legumes are found over a wide area in the fynbos from the SW Cape to Port Elizabeth. A project has been launched by the Nat. Bot. Inst., based on its dedication to the conservation as well as the sustained use of indigenous plants to initiate commercial honeybush tea plantings. Preparation: Boil about 2-3 tablespoonsful of dried material per litre for 20 minutes.  You can also use the same leaves for making additional brews of tea.  The infusion may be enjoyed without sugar or honey and milk or these may be added according to personal taste.  It may also be used as a cold drink or in combination with fruit juices.

Artefacts bought back from The Gambia - Leaves made for baskets like Cat. no 73483 - see notes for same.  Leaves are cut just before the blade has unfolded entirely and are left to dry in the open for about two days.  Then the leaf blade ribs of each fold are pulled off (see sample enclosed).  This process results in two pieces of palm leaf of two different kinds.  The narrower leaf rib and the wider blade section.  Both are incorporated into the basket.

A basket of this size takes one to two days to complete.  No tools were used and the coloured sections are dyed with European colours. The basket was bought for 25 Dallasis (1 pound 67pence) which is believed to ba a local price.

This wood sample was a cut off piece used in our accommodating guest house in Kololi village, Greater Banjul area.  The wood seems to be most important in the building trade.  Commonly used for roof construction and cross beams.  The palm trunk is split into small sections with a size comparable to the sample.  We were lead to believe that only the outer plam trunk wood can be used while the centre is either rotten or softer wood.  The exploitation of this palm species has at the time left a marked effect on the landscape.  In the greater Banjul Area and between there and Gunjur relatively few mature specimens were seen.  However there were numerous younger plants.

occurrenceRemarks:
From Malindi Handicraft Co-op Soc Ltd, Malindi. The Society is a wood carving co-op containing 316 members.  Most of the timber species used for making both tourist items and furniture are extracted (often illegally) from the few remaining areas of native coastal forests in Kenya.  Finding out the names of the tree species can be fraught with pitfalls because some names, such as mahogany and teak are applied to a number of species to give products added appeal to prospective customers.  For example, Brachylaena huillensis (Compositae) is traded as East African mahogany; Combretum schumannii (Combretaceae) is traded as teak.  As a result of over-exploitation, large specimens of several timber tree species are no longer found in certain forest areas.  Dalbergia melanoxylon (Black ebony) is becoming even more rare throughout Kenya.  As a result, supplies have to be imported from Tanzania.  Conservation of the remaining coastal forests of Kenya is a major priority.

Note of a visit to a craftsman in Japan, 24.9.1995.  The visit was made with the assistance of Mr Y Yamada (President Kowa Creative Art Co Ltd. and Mr Nasawa, a leading kimono artist, who uses washi paper to wrap his kimonos.  The craftsman we visited was Y Koshihara, Managing Director of Shinsu Maisuzaki Washi Ltd, Nagano Omachi, Yashiro 6561; tel & fax 0261 22 0579.  He makes washi paper in various grades, and incorporates decorative leaves in some kinds.  The mould for the paper is made of very fine bamboo, stitched together to make a straight, fine, close sieve.  The fibre used in Kozo, using the middle of the stem for the finer washi; it is effective because its fibres are long and silky.  It is cultivated as a perennial, and cut (coppiced) annually.The stems are then soaked, boiled for 4 hours, rinsed and stripped, then bleached.  Then the fibres are put into a vat with a gelatinous clear liquid added which holds the fibres together, and all is thoroughly mixed.  The separate sheets are made by taking up just the right amount of fibrous liquid onto the top of the mould, rocking it to spread the liquid evenly; the main weight of washi are strained and turned out (up and over, inverting the mould) onto a pile of other interleaved sheets to dry  - thespecially prepared decorative leaves are added at this stage.  When ready, the pile of new sheets are put under a screw press made mostly of timber & iron (somewhat crudely assembled, but a very effective machine nevertheless).  Mr Yoshihara also makes coloured sheets of washi, but uses chemical dyes rather than the more traditional plant dyes.  In his shop were for sale, various sets of notepaper, boxes, coasters etc.  made from washi, and on the wall, a ladies jacket and skirt also made of washi, though this last item was a gimmick more than a genuine fashion item.  Mr Yoshihara has made adjustments to the most traditional country ways of making washi, presumably to make the process simpler and less arduous; the most traditional method is shown on the wrapping paper attached to this note.  The OJI Paper Museum in Tokyo has a good video showing the traditional way of making washi, but unfortunately copies were not available for sale.  (Sylvia FitzGerald: Library & Archives).
