Label source: Arrows made of nerves of sheathing base of petioles of Patana, which, remaining when parenchyma decays, forms a sort of beard on trunk. They are called Ararcicohi by Catauixi Indians and poison called Arimiliho (in Lingua Geral Uirare). I, t is customary to make them up into bundles such as I send you.
