| Notes: | Label source: Bark of a tree called Hafotra fotsy. This and a brown variety of Hafotra are used for making a coarse kind of cordage; and this kind (I believe both kinds) also for making a coarse kind of cloth. Label source: This occurs in the form of st, rips of white fibrous bark, very tough and difficult to break and consisting of liber only. It has a slight pungent odour; when chewed it has at first no taste, but a pungent acridity is slowly developed, which lasts for several hours and recalls the tast, e of mezereon so strongly that it seems probable that the bark is derived from a thymelaceous plant, not withstanding the fact that the plant received under the same name at Kew proves to be Abutilon angustatum Mart. | ||||
