| Notes: | Label source: The 90 ft tree produces an edible fruit about the size of a grape and gum similar to the bullet tree but no smaller quantity. The smell arises from a minute fungus that grows on the bark. Indians scrape it off and scent their hair oil with, it. Bark is usually coated with a fragrant resinous substance. | ||||
