Can be got in straight logs of from 50 to 80 ft. squaring from 12 inches to 15 inches. Used in the framing of houses and is extremely durable. Most useful where a heavy beam is required as it seems to grow harder year by year. It is almost impossible to drive a nail into it after it has been in a building a year or so. This specimen is a young tree and does not show the distinctive red colour.

occurrenceRemarks:
From Tangspirit website: Oiled paper umbrella was originated in China, and carried to Taiwan along with migration of Hakkanese from Guandong of China to Taiwan, in particular to Mainon of Taiwan (Hakkanese is one of branches of major race 'Han' in China). Thus, the life of oiled paper umbrella is able to sustain in Taiwan. In early years, Hakka bride will bring several pieces of oiled paper umbrella to husband's family during the wedding as a lucky custom to wish happiness and having babies. In 1960's, it's the peak time to produce around 20,000 pcs oiled paper umbrella yearly in Mainon, before its scale gradually shrank due to mass production of costy umbrella. Nowadays, this nice product becomes a cultural artwork rather than functional purpose only (but they still can be used practically), they are taken as presents or personal collection as well.   Process to Make a Hakka Oiled Paper Umbrella It requires good materials, nice skill, and following process to create a high-end oiled paper umbrella:  1. Work out umbrella main frame by bamboo 2. Wind cotton thread around the main frame 3. Attach paper which will the surface of umbrella 4. Hand drawing and writing 5. Assemble the holding stem 6. Coat the tung oil, and dry it naturally 7. Nail the cloth head of umbrella 8. Pierce and wind cotton around inner side of branch frame 9. Completion  Tangspirit oiled paper umbrellas are applied with Tung oil (formal name as Aleurites oil) coating on surface of paper, this appears a special smell and light brown color. Tung oil is sort of Taiwan specialty like a local mark, hand drawing creates classical style with new spirit. Tangspirit oiled paper umbrella is a nice target for you to chase for legacy romance, live your life with art charmingly. While you are carrying a Tangspirit oiled paper umbrella on hands, you actually open stories of history, humanism, art, and volumes of book.

Letter attached to index card:   From J D Spink, Ass Marketing Executive, Burroughs Wellcome & Co, to D.C. Harrod, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacognosy, Chelsea Polytechnic.  28th November 1950  re. Curare specimen  We thank you for your letter of teh 21st November, concerning the above, and are pleased to advise that we shall be able to help in respect of the extract as purchased by us.  Arrangements have been put in hand to have despatched to you, under separate cover, one ounce of 'Curare paste2, contained in a two ounce glass jar.  This paste is the crude extract of the Chondrodendron tomentosum root, exactly as imported by us from South America.  It is of the type originally known as 'tube curare'.  It would, however, be a misnomer to describeit as such nowadays, as the native population, having become more civilised now collect the drug in petrol cans, instead of the tubular pods, as of old.  As your interest in this drug is an academic one we would point out an interesting anomaly, even though we appreciate you may be aware of it.  Our spelling above of the botanical name is correct, though many widely used textbooks give the spelling 'Chondodendron' without the 'r'.  This however is an erro which was originally perpetrated many years agobut has been perpetuated, even we understand, into the United States Pharmacopeoia.  Obviously we do not need to stress to you the dangers associated with allowing this extract to come into contact with an open wound or lesion, as it is of full d-tubocarine alkaloid content, and will remain so for some considerable time.

eventRemarks:
Mucawa: a ceramic bowl used to drink the slightly alchoholic manioc 'beer' known as Aswa (Chicha). This act is an integral part of Kichwa speaking cultures. Manioc is chewed and spat into a bowl wherein the enzymes from ones saliva trigger fermentation.

occurrenceRemarks:
Composed of river clay, the locations of which are kept secret. From a young age girls are given the cup shaped fungus Callana ala (Cookeina tricholona) to hold in their hands in order to become familar with its circular shape and thus produce bowls of similar likeness. Young girls are also given the Piton flower (Grias neurberthii) to hold in their mouths, in hopes of permently absorbing its essence. When chewing manioc the sweet qualities of the flower are then thought to be transfered to the 'beer'. Wood from the Pihui yura (Pollalesta discolor) is sought out in order to fire the pottery due to its even burn and fine white ash which will not discolor the final product. When still cooling the exudate from Shirquillu (Protium sp.) is used as a glaze. This imparts a sweet smell unto the vessel and seals it. Mucawas are then painted with a mixture of water and red, white, and black clays, the locations of which are even more guarded. A few strands of human hair (normally from a boy) are afixed to a twig and used as paint brushes. The geometric motif of this mucawa is a mixture of anaconda and turtle designs but many elements from the natural world are incorpated in other vessels. The images often refer to stories or events in their cultural history.

Label source:  The second most important tree of the state. It grows to a great height (trees of 280ft. having been measured), with a bole of 100ft. to 140ft. and a diameter of 8ft. to 10ft. Weight per cubic foot (green) 72lbs. At 12 per cent. moisture 58lbs. Transverse strength 17,300lbs. per square inch. Tensile strength 18,750lbs per square inch. A hard, strong wood. It closely resembles jarrah timber, but the grain is longer and it is a much stronger wood. It is beyond doubt a splendid superstructualtimber, and is strongly to be recomended for heavy beams, roof purposes, etc. It is not durable in the ground, and does not resist white ants. It is on Lloyd`s list of shipbuilding timbers, and is suitable for all purposes where large sections of great strength are necessary.  It has been found very satisfactory for wooden pipes, and it makes a good wood for railway wagon and similar work.

specificEpithet: marginata
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  This tree is the principal timber of the State. In the early days it was called 'mahogany' owing to the resemblance it had to the Honduras timber. The tree grows to a height of 100 to 120 feet, with a bole of 50 to 60 feet and a diameterof72 inches. Weight per cubic ft (green) 68lbs. At 12 per cent moisture 55lbs. Transverse strength 15,000 lbs per square inch. Tensile strength 15,500 lbs per square inch. A hard wood, but easily worked and therefore used for almost every purpose. Its great strength renders it admirably adapted for beams and its colour and texture are such that it is daily becoming more and more prominent as a cabinet wood. One of its remarkable qualities is its durability when exposed to the worst conditions. It is on Lloyds list of ship building woods. Its durability has made it renowned for bridge, wharf and harbour work, while the telegraph service of the State is dependent upon of jarrah poles.

occurrenceRemarks:
Note attached to index card: 'Hydnocarpus inebrians. A note from our specimen. 18 E 3 Dr. Dymock, Bombay. 1878. local name Kowtee. Abundant in the Concans some distance to the South of Bombay, also in Goa. The oil is extracted for burning, and is also inrepute as a remedy for skin diseases. It is at present on trial here as a substitute for chaulmogra; if found to be efficient it can be delivered in Bombay for less than half the price of the latter oil. It appears that the greenish tinge which the oil sometimes has is caused by the adherence of some of trhe pulp of the fruit to the testa of the seed; the pure oil from decorticated seed is of a pale yellow. The external appearance of the fruit varies considerably; upon the same tree perfectly smooth and very rough fruit may be seen.'.

occurrenceRemarks:
According to museum web site: Seit ca. 1700 trug die Zunderschwammherstellung wesentlich zum Lebensunterhalt der Menschen in Neustadt am Rennsteig bei. Als im Jahre 1812 das Glasgewerbe zum Untergang verurteilt war, besannen sich die Bewohner von Neustadt am Rennsteig wieder auf die Zunderschwammherstellung, um weiterhin ihren Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. Die Zunderschwamm Fabrikation brachte unseren Dörfchen den Namen Schwammneustadt ein. Die Neustädter zogen mit ihren Wägelchen oder der Radebarre in die nahen Buchenwälder, bepackt mit leeren Leinensäcken, Tagesproviant, scharfen Messern und langen Reisighippen. Der echte Zunderschwamm ( Fomes fomentarius ), Pilz des Jahres 1995, ist ein ansehnlicher, grauer, gedungener, hufförmiger Pilz, der bis zu 40cm Durchmesser erreichen kann. Der Zunderschwamm wächst das ganze Jahr an Buchen und kann ein Alter von vielen Jahren erreichen. Er ist zum Ärger der Forstleute ein arger Holzzerstörer. Das vom Zunderschwamm befallene Holz wird sehr leicht und brüchig.  Die Oberseite des Fruchtkörpers ist durch konzentrisch verlaufende Wülste bzw. Furchen gegliedert. Jeder Wulst repräsentiert ein Wachstumsjahr. Das Alter des Zunderschwammes kann man an der Zahl der Wülste ablesen. Der Randwulst, der jüngste also, ist rostbräunlich. Im darauffolgenden Jahr wird er graubraun und dann grau. Unter der sehr harten, glanzlosen Rinde befindet sich eine zähe, flockig- weiche, rostbraune trockene Schicht. Das wildlederartige Werg wurde aus dem harten Wulst herausgeschnitten und indie mitgebrachten Leinwandbeutel gepackt. Die Tagesausbeute betrug etwa einen halben Zentner. Zu Hause angekommen, wurde der Rohschwamm im Keller in heiser Asche gegoren, damit er aufbrause und wild werde. Die faustgroßen Schwämme wurden in Salpeter gekocht, mit scharfen Messern in 3 cm dicke Scheiben geschnitten und getrocknet. Mit hölzernen Hämmern wird die Masse auf einen hölzernen Amboß bis auf das Zehnfache ihrer ursprünglichen Fläche geklopft. Die Lappen wurden noch einmal in Asche eingeweicht, danach getrocknet und mit den Händen durch Walken und Zupfen weichgerieben.  Die Lunte war fertig - sie war unentbehrlich in Küche und Haus. Besonders begehrt war ein gleichmäßig brauner Zunder, wie ihn Neustadt`s Naturproduckt lieferte. Sogar die Engländerzündeten ihre Shagpfeifen mit German tinder aus Neustadt am Rennsteig an. Als im Jahre 1842 die Zunderherstellung bereits ihren Höhepunkt erreicht hatte, wurden in Neustadt 430 Zentner Feuerschwamm hergestellt. Aber um den Zunder zu entfachen wurden Feuerstein und Feuerstahl gebraucht.

occurrenceRemarks:
Production history: Arabians came to south-east Madagascar and began making this type of paper. They were the ancestors of the Antemoro (an ethnic group in Madagascar).  In 1936, Pierre Matthiew started the introduction of fresh flowers in to the designs.    Production technique (as relayed to JW by a worker at the site): The second layer of bark is used. It is harvested, dried and bundled for storage until required, then boiled in water for 4 hours, rinsed in cold water and dried.  Then it is crushed into a paste and 400g balls are made as a standard measure which makes 1.5m by 1,75m of paper at the required thickness.  The balls are wetted so they become the consistency of a paste, which is then spread out on something like cotton sheeting (which is kept wet with running water in a special bath). Once spread out to the required thickness, the sheeting (framed for rigidity) is pulled out of the bath and whilst still damp, fresh flowers are placed on it to create the design. Paper paste is lightly smeared onto the fresh flowers to hold them in place and then the entire creation is left in the sun or hung on racks to dry. It is made into notebooks, greeting cards, photo albums, envelopes, bookmarks, menus and wall hangings.  (Other species in the genus that can be used similarly include Gnidia danguyana Leandri and Gnidia daphnifolia L.f.)

There is an early 19th century account of aged madder.  David Hill noted that in the damp conditions sugars of the roots are oxidised with microbes however the anthroquinone dyes remain despite the decay. This process can occur within months but in this particular case the samples were stored for several years.  The late Robin Hill (with Derek Rich) described the anthroquinones in madder in the late 1930s.  David Hill donated Robin Hill's anthroquinone extracts to the British Museum via Vincent D. Daniels.

Results  obtained for Rhizophora (brown shades) and Vitex (yellow shades) were as expected.  However, the results for Morinda were not as expected, possibly as they were such old samples.
