| Notes: | Label source: Rubber sample no 3. Ceara rubber Manihot glaziovii, the produce of 3 trees. These trees were planted in 1896, and are now in their 6th year of growth. The yield seems small in the extreme although the trees grow freely, I do not think it, is likely to command serious attention. The trees after having thier outer bark removed were tapped indiscriminately to a ht of about 8 ft from the ground, the tapping carried out as with the Para rubber trees. Extract from Mr D Yeowards letter to the, Administrator Fiji Islands, 22 April 1902 | ||||
