To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Gamelleira (Ficits dollar ia) distils an acrid sugar which is used as a vermifuge. The Genipapo {Gemp)a Brasiliensis) has medicinal fruits. The root of the Piripirioca is of an exquisite perfume and acts as an aphrodisiac. The bark of the White Ipe {Teconia sp. ) is purgative ; that of the Teconia insignis has the same properties, and, moreover, this variety gives a yellow dust which induces sneezing and has earned for it the name of " Ipe-Snuft'. " The Murta {Eugenia hicida) has an astring...ent bark. The Murure yields a red sap, having depurative and anti- syphilitic properties. The seeds of the Pajura (Pleraginea sj). ) when rasped are administered as an astringent. The bark of the Sucupira-perola (Bowddchia virgilioides) is equally recommended in certain pathological cases. And, lastly, comes Tobacco, which grows admirably in this country. Let us mention now the gums and the products in that category. THE LAND OF THE AMAZONS 101 We have the mahogany gum from the Caju (Anacardium occidentale) ; the gum of the mango tree ; that of the cocoa-nut tree ; the Amapa, a large tree, from 25 to 35 ft.
