@caribbeanherbalism: Hevea brasilensis is the latin name of the Brazilian rubber tree and it was planted in these forests in the Northern Range of Trinidad as an export commodity in the past. This is the rubber that makes your tires and rubber bands, etc. The rubber of this tree is considered higher quality than the one i posted yesterday which has the latin name of Castilla elastica. These forests are full of stories about the past and future. #caribbeanherbalism #ethnobotany #trinidad #rubber #heveabrasiliensis
