Notes from Packaging: Organic  pale stoneground flour milled from whole khorasan grain, a rare wheat species related to mordern varieties.  Excellent for baking gourmet breads and pasta.  Kamut grain is a khorasan wheat, Triticum turgindum.  Said to be the wheat of the Pharoahs, the crop produces bold golden ears of grain with striking long black awns or whiskers.  Kamut kharasan flour makes great bread, pasta, pizza and biscuits and is part of our range of heritage and speciality flours.  Kharasan wheat, tricum turgidum is a hard wheat type whose origins can be traced back to the Fertile Crescent in Egypt where it is though early agriculture first developed.  With large golden grains, twice the size of many modern wheat varieties, it mills into a soft wholegrain flour with a pale, creamy colour.  The KAMUT trade mark was introuduce in 1990 to protect and preserve the exceptional quality of this ancient wheat and indicates that licensed seed was grown by organic farmers in North America and the flour wasprocessed under KAMUT certification.

To celebrate the re-opening of the Temperate House and the skill of the botanists at Kew Gardens, The London Distillery Company have created this beautiful Citrus led gin.  Once the world's largest glasshouse, the Temperate House was at the forefront of horticultural taste in Victorian Britain.  Scented-leaf pelargoniums (Geranium) are tender plants which release bold scents.  They were one of the choice plants for many people to grow in home greenhouses in the Victoria era.  Using a lemon scented pelargonium as the backbone of this spirit, complemented by fragrant orange, our unique and delicious gin has been created to be enjoyed in gardens everywhere.  Manufactured in London, England under licence from RGB (sic) Kew Enterprises Ltd.  All profits from RGB Kew Enterprises Ltd. go to Kew to support its vital work.  Bottle No.: 530 Batch No.: 002

eventRemarks:
This loom was set up by Dulcelina Suárez and used by her for teaching sprang to Linda Mowat, Gregorio Rodriguez (a secondary school teacher from Barichara) and Jesus, another teacher from Barichara (photographic slides 1-6). The sticks should be straight,

occurrenceRemarks:
The warp, of commercial cotton called pita, was made on a simple rectangular frame on legs, with two removable horizontal sticks across its width (slides 1-2). This is called a telar (loom in Spanish, though this is not a loom but a warping frame). The yarn is wound spirally around the two sticks until the desired number of warps is reached, then an extra one, called the non, is added before the yarn is tied off.   Leaving out the non, the first pair of lower warps is exchanged for the pair of upper warps above it, then exchanged again to make a twist. This is repeated across the width of the warp. A shed  stick is put through to hold all the twists in place, and the warp, now with three sticks, is carefully removed from the frame.   The craft is said to take 10 years to learn, the weaver formerly used to weave with fique, but prefers commercially spun cottan pita (that she dyes wit synthetic dyes). Sometimes coloured synthetic yarn called terlenka is used.  Bags are sold in a shop in Barichara and to commissions.  The two end sticks are now attached, one to the weaver's waist and the other to a chair in front of her, by slipping it through the chair legs. Holding the warp under tension with her body, she works on the first shed created by the stick, which is kept in place but pushed towards the other end of the work. Twill sprang is produced as follows (slides 3-6):  R to L (non on the upper R) Bring up lower pair on the R and drop the non and the next thread to it on the L. Hold in place with your R hand. Repeat across the warp, gradually sliding in a new shed stick to hold the work as you go. At the end of the row, beat down with the new stick. Then push the first shed stick right to the other end of the warp, and push the second one up against it, keeping them both in place.  L to R (non on the upper L) Bring up lower pair on the L and drop the non and the next thread to it on the R. Repeat across the warp, introducing a new shed stick as before.   Keep going until there are so many shed sticks in place that you can no longer work comfortably. Then turn the work so that the sticks are at your end and the woven area at the other end. One by one, starting with the stick nearest to you, beat down and remove the stick. BUT LEAVE THE LAST STICK IN PLACE!!!   Now you can see that each row you worked at one end of the warp is reproduced at the other. This also applies to any mistakes you make in the weave. Dulcelina's attitude to mistakes (of which we made a huge amount) was 'Undo it all andstart again!'  The bag is finished in the centre by inserting two rows of thick yarn in place of sticks. As the weaving becomes very tight at this stage, it is usual to shift from twill to plain weave for the last few rows.

It is made in the commercial cotton known as pita: this is a thinner size than that used on  Mowat no. 1. The tension is a bit uneven, and you can see where a mistake she has made has been duplicated at both ends of the textile.

Unlike Dulcelina, Lucrecia (who was older) tended to sit with her back to the wall and her legs to one side of the chair, rather than on each side of it. She preferred to weave with fique (sisal): the family had their own fique plants, which they cleaned (a laborious process) and spun themselves on a wheel, torno; or they might buy the fique already cleaned and spin it themselves; or they might pay someone else to spin it at 1,000 pesos per lb. It took about a day to spin enough fique for a bag this size (it weighs just over 8 oz), and it also had to be plied to produce the two-ply yarn. Lucrecia's daughter-in-law Armenia (who worked in the village shop)did the spinning and her son Trino (who ran the farm) was very good at plying. They dyed the yarn for the coloured strips themselves (aniline dyes, though they used to use cayeno, hibiscus, for pink) and the coloured strips were warped in separately. (Dulcelina, when making coloured cotton bags, space-dyed her yarn). Weaving the bag could take about two days, and then there was the sewing up and the handle to make. In all this bag could represent three or four days' work, plus the cost of fibre, dye and spinning if they paid someone else to do it; yet they charged only 4,000 pesos for it, at a time when a man could expect to earn 6,000 pesos per day for basic building labour.

Made on a frame by Kubaruwa men of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy in NE Colombia. The Kubaruwa are a clan of the U'wa indigenous people.  Data from : Ann Osborn 2009. The Four Seasons of the U'wa: A Chibcha Ritual Ecology in the Colombian Andes. Wantage: Sean Kingston Publishing.  p 13 The Kubaruwa used to give sisal bags to the Guahibo people in exchange for shells for women's necklaces, and for teaching them how to make steel arrowheads. p17 Sisal bags were traditional trade goods and traded in the white villages of Güicán and Cocuy in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy for salt, axes, bush-knives and woollen ponchos. p39 All U'wa clans made sisal bags, for their own use and for exchange p128 Sprang sisal bags, chakara, are made by men using a rectangular frame about 80 cm high and 50 cm wide, which is rested on the ground with a stone at the base. They spin the string themselves. The Kubaruwa don't use these bags, they are made for exchange. Hammocks are also made in sprang; these are used by the Kubaruwaand also exchanged. p150 In the past, the Kubaruwa left trade goods at menhir sites, moving from one site to another. On the return journey they collected products from other clans which had been left in the same place. 'The Kubaruwa say that the goods they leave change into the goods that they collect', therefore sisal bags turned into the hallucinogen called akwa.

Black Tepary Beans - S-CHUUK BAVI is a a rare, recent selection from our heirloom crops, the hearty flavored s-chuuk bavi is as highly nutritious as the so-am bavi and the stotoah bavi.  Born of an ancient tradition of separating the black seeds before planting the white or brown teparies, the black seeds were selected, planted, grown, and harvested over several years to bring out the hidden traits of this unique tepary bean.  The firm texture and meaty flavor of this bean works well in many recipes. Certification on the packet: Made/Produced by American Indians - certified authentic

Notes from the Iroquois - white corn project website: About Iroquois White Corn  The Iroquois White Corn Project, originally Pinewoods Community Farming, began as the vision of Dr. John Mohawk (Seneca) and Dr. Yvonne Dion-Buffalo (Samson Cree). Their desire to bring Iroquois White Corn back as a staple of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) diet began a decade-long project that has returned to its original home, Ganondagan. Iroquois White Corn is traditionally managed and protected to bring nutritious corn products from heirloom seeds dating back at least 1,400 years in Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) communities. Hand-grown, hand-picked, and hand-processed, Iroquois White Corn products are nutritious, non-GMO, gluten-free, and have a low glycemic index. Our goal is to restore the farming, consumption, and distribution of traditional Iroquois White Corn to Native American communities and to offer Iroquois White Corn products to the community at large. Iroquois White Corn, along with beans and squash, is often called 'Three Sisters.' Learn more by reading the 'Legend of the Three Sisters.' Made with Good Minds once again at Ganondagan, our Iroquois White Corn is available for your own culinary creations. Healthy for you, healthy for Mother Earth. roquois Hulled White Corn   Our whole kernel corn is washed or cooked in hardwood ash or lime water to remove the hull from each kernel. It is then dehydrated and packaged. When cooked, each kernel expands to approximately four times its original size, so one bag of this corn is like buying four! Its texture holds up and does not become mushy when cooked. Perfect for traditional corn soup, it also mixes beautifully to any soup, chowder, chili, summer salads, stews, casseroles, salsas, or any other recipe where you would use whole hominy or any beans. One bag of uncooked hulled corn yields 14-18 servings.

Notes from brochure:   A modern artificial flower from pith paper - made during a pith paper revival in Taiwan.    From 2011 a small group of paper historians, desigers and craftsmen and the family members of some of the people who used to be involved in the pith paper industry and growing the plants in Taiwan became interested in the possibility of reviving some interest of this material for crafts and preserving the traditions and techniques for production before all evidence or memory of it is loss in Taiwan.  In Taiwan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries the Aboriginal tribes in the mountainous areas of Hsinchu and Miaoli Counties cultivated the Tetrapanax papyrifera plant, and pith paper became an important export during the Janpanesoccupation of Taiwan era (1895 to 1945).  The pith paper industry producing pith paper by hand cutting and mainly used for artificial flower making thrived in Hsinchu until the 1980s, and finally the industry was all moved to mainland China in 1993 whereproduction costs were lower  Artificial flowers from pith paper have been produced in China since the Qin Dynasty (221 - 207 BC.)

occurrenceRemarks:
Note from W. Milliken: Calamus cf. hollrungii Becc. may have been put in Calamus pachypus W.J. Baker & al. The principle use of the rattan is as a bow string (split lengths of the stem), but it may also be used for waist-hopps & fire-saw straps.  This species is sometimes planted.  See Ethnobotany of the Yali of West Papua by William Milliken - copy with object notes  Fire  At the time of study the people of Ilamik did not have access to matches, and still employed traditional fire-making techniques.This was achieved by the use of 'fire-saws', which were generally carried about by men in their string bags (Fig. 14). These consist of a partially split stick (konkon) held open by a small pebble, and a length of dry split rattan (kept in a twisted coilcalled a serene). The rattan strap is passed around the underside of the stick; fine tinder (amunanagge, which may be cut from the rattan coil) is put underneath or into the cleft, and the stick is held firmly to the ground with a foot. The strap is thenpulled back and forth vigorously, and within less than twenty seconds the tinder begins to smoke (Fig. 15) and can be kindled into a flame. This process is described in detail by Steensberg (1980). The stems of four species of Calamus were said to be used for the straps, as well as Racemobambos aff. raynalii, Smilax sp. and Carex cf. filicina (Cyperaceae). The wood of a number of trees is recognized as particularly suitable for the sticks (perhaps because of their lack of sap), including the following species: Parasponia rigida, Ardisia sp., Alphitonia incana, Saurauia cf. occulta (Actinidiaceae), Homalanthus sp., Eurya meizophylla (Theaceae), Rapanea cacuminum, Macaranga pleioneura and sabe (unidentified Malvaceae).

occurrenceRemarks:
Along the Içana River and its tributaries, the Baniwa people have been cultivating some 70 local varieties of five species of Capsicum peppers, which they turn into a spice blend called 'jiquitaia'. Known throughout Brazil as Pimenta Baniwa. Jiquitaia isa fundamental part of Baniwa culture and seeds are passed down through generations. The ancestral practice of making the spice blend has changed little: after harvesting the peppers, they are dried for approximately two days, then crushed. However, now, salt from the Maras salt pans in Peru’s Sacred Valley is added and the packing of the product has become modernised.

A whole section of bark is taken from the tree, and the inner bark is extracted from this. There are many layers which must be carefully peeled apart and then once in individual layers can be opened to the lace finish. The layers are easier to work with when fresh or softened with water. However, Derrick Lennon described his grandmother leaving them out in the sun as the combination of sun and rain helped in their preparation.   The sun also helped with the bleaching process that was desirable.  I alsofound at they needed to be dry in order to pull out the finest details, and it was a combination of working with both wet and dry material plus manipulating some thicker areas that allowed me to work without tearing the lace.

This piece is extremely rare as the Chinese are now realising their value and are reluctant to export them. The chest was used for the future herbal medicine exhibit in the People and Plants exhibition (2003) as it highlights the role of plants in one of the oldest medical system on the planet and represents the increasing popularity of chinese herbal medicine in the UK.Additionally it is also made of Chinese Northern Elm so is a traditional plant product and was also built specifically to store Chinese medicinal herbs, with Chinese labels that state each medicine contained in the drawers and Chinese coins for handles.

occurrenceRemarks:
This sock was made by Anushka Tay in response to a coral-coloured machine-knitted ramie sock discovered in the EBC (catalogue number 73214).   The yarn is the same shade of red as the EBC item 73214, but it is a heavier gauge suitable for hand-knitting, and it is a fibre blend not pure ramie.  The yarn is 'The Little Knitting Company Cotton Ramie', 240m per 100g, shade 'Red', 17 wraps-per-inch, made in Italy. The sock is hand-knitted seamlessly from the cuff downwards, using the heel-flap and gusset technique.   [NB whilst the yarn used is only 30% ramie, and 70% cotton, I have suggested that this item is catalogued under ramie, rather than cotton, because of the cultural context of this item: it was made in response to a ramie EBC specimen.]

occurrenceRemarks:
Both bio-jewellery and boots were produced by Dr Borracha (Dr Rubber), an artisan working in the municipality of Epitaciolândia (state of Acre). Son and grandson of rubber tappers, José Rodrigues de Araujo (known as Dr Borracha) began working with natural rubber when he was 8 years old in Assis Brazil (a small town on the triple border between Peru, Brazil and Bolivia). He currently coordinates a group of artisans who make bags, shoes, necklaces, and decorative objects. The family focused on latex extraction and rubber production until 2004 when they took a course at the Chemical Technology Laboratory (University of Brasilia) and started working with a technique called Folha Semi-Artefato (FSA) which allows latex to be transformed into a 'sheet' then used to produce shoes and bags. In 2007, the group of artisans started to sell their products in shops and fairs. They sell products in various states in Brazil and some other countries. They currently produce around 400 pieces per month.

Step 2 - Filtering (for each litre of latex, add one litre of water.  Step 3 - Adding acid fluid (coagulant element, some type of Pyroligneous acid), 50ml for every litre of water (if no colour will be added (FDL), more acid is needed). Step 4 - Distributing latex on model trays. Step 5 - Adding colour, paint used is called Xadrez. (iron-based pigment) Step 6 - After mixing colour, remove foam and let latex rest for approximately 4 hours Step 7 - Removing rubber sheet from the trays. Step 8 - Pressing the sheet to refine and thin the rubber (process can be repeated many times) Step 9 and 10 - Hanging sheets to dry (those coloured and not coloured) - drying can take up to one day (done under the shade in a protected area) Step 11 - FDL sheets dried and pressed. Step 12 - Products making by artisan using FSA-produced rubber

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source: Leaves and Flowers of Egyptian Henbane. This plant, Hyoscyamus muticus, grows in Europe, Egypt, Iran and India. It contains from 0.2-1.5% hyoscyamine. The seeds contain a different alkaloid, hyoscine (or scopalamine) which resembles atropine pharmacologically, but it has a more potent depressant action on the nervous system. It relaxes smooth muscle of the repiratory system, gastro-intestinal and urinary tracts, and diminishes the secretory activity of glands. It is widely used in psychiatry for manic states and, with morphone, for preoperative sedation, and in ophthalmology, its mydriatic effect on the pupil is greater than that of atropine.   Written underneath specimen is Hyoscymus muticus N.

Label source: Nux vomica seeds. Seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica, a small tree indigenous to India, Ceylon, Siam and northern Australia, were introduced into Europe in the XVIth century and used chiefly for poisoning unwanted animals and birds. The flat disc-shaped seeds contain 3-5% of alkaloids, consisting chiefly of strychnine and brucine. The seeds have a bitter taste and were used in tonic tinctures and stomachic drops. There is little scientific basis for the popularity of this remedy, although it increases blood pressure and may be used in barbiturate poisoning. Overdosage causes convulsions and death.

occurrenceRemarks:
Brown color : 'Coyote' brown G.hirsutum variety classically and organically bred by Sally V. Fox  in the 1980's and grown organically at scale by legacy organic growers Alvarez Farms in La Union, New Mexico. 'Coyote' brown is descended from selections ofindividual plants whose distinction from others where that the color expressed in the fibers intensified upon laundering and whose fiber was longer and stronger than what the USDA gave to commercial breeders in California in the late 1970's. The reason commercial breeders were encouraged to work with these cottons of color was that they had demonstrated resistance to every major soil pathogen (the fusarium and verticillium races known at the time) and to the major insect pests. The original germplasm hadbeen collected by the USDA in 1939 in Louisiana, USA colloquially described as 'slave cotton', as it has been reported that prior to to the US Civil war the only cottons the enslaved African Americans were allowed to grow within their own gardens were the cottons of color.

occurrenceRemarks:
Additional object information: This unique Yunnan Pu'er Tea Essence Cube was crafted from ancient Yunnan tea trees with traditional techniques, it not only carries the profound heritage of Chinese tea culture but also stands as a masterpiece of craftsmanship blending perfectly with nature. This Tea Essence Cube embodies the quintessence of tea, while its solid form is perfect for long-term preservation and appreciation. Each object is marked with a large Chinese character and a smaller seal describing the production year of each object. All the smaller seals are identical.   Cultural significance: The tea essence cubes, with a history spanning over 1,000 years in Chinese tea drinking, were discovered and advocated by Lu Yu, the Tea Sage of the Tang Dynasty, glorified by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and revived and developed by Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, serving as a regal wellness tea. The craftsmanship involved in creating tea essence cubes is elaborate, necessitating the selection of superior tea leaves and processes like soaking, steaming, pressing, and drying. These essence cubes are celebrated for their intense aroma and rich flavour, offering significant drinking pleasure and health benefits. Throughout history, tea essence cubes have been treasured by royals, scholars, and literati, considered prestigious as tribute and gifts. They not only embody the profound essence of Chinese tea culture but also the extensive history of China's wellness practices.  Additional background notes: In 1792, King George III of the United Kingdom commissioned Earl George Macartney to lead a delegation to China, where Pu'er tea essence cubes were presented as a state gift to the visiting British envoy. This historical moment highlights the profound cultural and diplomatic relations between China and the UK, symbolizing the significant role of tea essence cubes as a conduit for cultural exchange. The donation of the tea essence cubes to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, resonates with this meaningful history, which continues the tradition of tea as a promoter of mutual cultural appreciation.  Production description: The dry tea leaves are soaked and pressed at room temperature, and freeze-dried.  Production date: 20th May, 2008(According to the manufacturer, but the seals on the objects indicated it was made in 2010).  Maker name: Modern Tea Products (Kunming) Co., Ltd.  Maker background: The first professional tea essence cubes manufacturer in modern China.  Maker language: Chinese.  Label transcription: Product Name: 'Abundance of Virtue' Pu'er Tea Essence Cube Note: The name 'Abundance of Virtue' is derived from the Chinese idiom 'Ji Shan Zhi Jia, Bi You Yu Qing', symbolizing that a family that accumulates good deeds will inevitably be blessed with prosperity and well-being. The eight characters are etched respectively on each Tea Essence Cubes.

specificEpithet: officinalis
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source: Cinchona bark. These quills of stripped bark come from the trees cinchona officinalis and C. pubescens. The genus Cinchona is indigenous to the highlands of Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia. The trees grow to a height of 25-35 m at an altitude of 1500 - 2500 m. Cinchona bark was brought to Europe in the XVIIth century by Spanish Jesuits and was known as Peruvian or Jesuits' bark.  C. officinalis and C. succirubra are other species, but the best barks are those of C. ledgeriana and C. calisaya, now cultivated in Indonesia, India and tropical Africa. About 30 alkaloids have been isolated from the bark, and the most important are quinine and quinidine.  Quinine, isolated in 1821, by Pelletier and Caventou in Paris, occurs in the best trees in amounts from 3 to 10 per cent. It is specific for the treatment of malaria, and also used in small quantities to prepare soft astringent drinks.  Quinidine, a stereoisomer of quinine, seldom exceeds 0.5 per cent in any bark. It is used for treatment of auricular fibrillation and paroxysmal tachycardia.  Totaquine is a mixture of alkaloids from the bark and is cheaper than quinine.  Cinchona febrifuge is the residue of alkaloids after removal of quinine. There are many preparations of alkaloid salts and mixtures from the bark of cinchona trees.

specificEpithet: venenosum
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source: Calabar Beans. These are the ripe seeds of a woody climbing plant indigenous to West Africa. They were used in Calabar for 'ordeal' judgements.  Calabar beans, known as 'Esere' contain 0.1-0.3 per cent of eserine (or physostigmine). This alkaloid produces constriction of the pupil, an action discovered by Fraser in 1862.  Eserine salicylate inhibits cholinesterase, thus increasing the cholinergic response at neuro-muscular junctions. If the muscle has been curarized, eserine will tend to restore synpathetic conduction. In sympathetic ganglia eserine potentiates inhibitor effects and when instilled into the eye, it reduces intra-ocular pressure. It is used to antagonise homatropine. It has been used in myasthenia gravis, and as an antidote in strychnine poisoning. Large doses of eserine may cause death from asphyxia.

Its large reddish fruit, the shape and size of vegetable marrow, springs directly from the trunk of the tree. It contains 40-50 seeds, which after fermentation and drying acquire a reddish-brown colour and an astringent aromatic taste. Roasted and ground seeds yield oil, after which the powder is used to prepare chocoloate and cocoa. The oil solidifies at 30-33 degrees C and is used for making medicinal suppositories. Cacao seeds contain 1.5-2 per cent of theobromine and traces of caffeine. Theobromine has a stimulant action on the heart muscle, dilates the coronary arteries and has a diuretic effect.

Label source: Seeds of Strophanthus kombe. Strophanthus kombe is a large climbing plant, indigenous to east Africa. An extract from its seeds was used as arrow poison. It contains 8 to 10 per cent of mixed glycosides known as strophanthin-k. The active principle, strophanthin, was isolated in 1885.  Another species, (S. gratus), grows in Sierra Leone, Cameroun and Gabon. It contains a glycoside, ouabaine, which is more toxic than strophanthin.  Strophanthin raises the blood-pressure, and is an efficient diuretic and a powerful cardiac poison. It is not cumulative, it has a more rapid and more transient action than digitalis and is less liable to irritate the gut.

specificEpithet: purpurea
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source: Foxglove leaves. Purple foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a biennial herb widely distributed in England. It has been used for centuries as a domestic medicine and was recognized as medicinally important by John Withering in 1776. The leaves, 10-20cm long, contain many glycosides which yield several compounds of which digitoxin is the most important. The highest yield is obtained from the woolly foxglove, D. lanata, intensely cultivated in Europe and the U.S.A.  Digitalis preparations slow the heart beat by stimulation of the vagus, and slow conduction in the auriculoventricular bundle, thus preventing irregularities of cardiac rhythm. Their most important use is in congestive heart failure; increased renal blood flow produces diuresis and reduces oedema. Their action is cumulative.  Digoxin is a crystalline glycoside obtained from the leaves of D. lanata. It is the most widely used digitalis derivative, and is given orally or by injection.  NB Donor notes state: NOTE: Query ID for this specimen - appears to be bark or leaves rather than seeds. (Foxglove seeds are very small.)

Label source:  A North American tree, of the wood which Professor Sargent speaks favourably. 'It is, however, he says, 'in Texas at least, rather small, scarcely six inches in diameter and not very common. In Northern Mexico it is said to grow much larger, and could probably be obtained with some trouble in sufficient quanities to become an article of commerce.' Of this wood Mr Scott says 'It is sufficiently good as regards the grain, but the specimen sent for trial was much too small for practical purposes.' Mr RH Keene the engraver says it 'is nearly equal to the best box.'

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Grows abundantly throughout Canada, and attains an average height of 110 feet and 60 feet to the first limb, and 26 to 36 inches in diameter. The timber is much valued for its toughness and elasticity, excellent for works exposed to suddenshocks and strains, as the frames of machines, wheel carriages, agricultural implements, the felloes of wheels, etc., handles of implements and for numerous similar purposes. The young branches serve for hoops of ships masts, tubs, for coarse basket worketc. It grows rapidly, and the young or second growth is more valuable than that of old trees. Can be furnished in almost every part of Canada for 35 Pounds sterling per 1000 cubic feet, and at Quebec for about 45 Pounds. Specific gravity 0.616, weight of cubic foot 40 lbs., value for heating purposes 70 (hickory being 100).

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  (Memo from Paula Rudall to Rosemary Angel (Museums) 28.9.81) I've finally looked at this wood you sent over some time ago - you thought it might be A.nitida as A.marina doesn't occur in Florida.  Unfortunately there are too few specific differences between the anatomy of the 2 species for us to give an opinion on this.  I've sectioned several of the Avicennias for the collection as a result though.
