Summary
[edit]DescriptionChilean palm.jpg |
English: . « The palm differs considerably from any I have seen in any part of the world. The height of those I have seen when full-grown is from fifty to sixty feet ; at about two-thirds of that height the stems narrow considerably. The bark is composed of circular rings, knotty and brown ; they are always upright, and exceed in circumference all the palms I know, except the dragon tree : the spathe containing the flower is so large, that the peasants use it to hold various domestic articles ; and it is shaped so exactly like the canoes of the coast that I think it must have served as the model for building them. It produces a nut of the shape of a hazel, but much larger ; the kernel is like a cocoa-nut, and like it, when young contains milk. This tree, when it is old, that is when the people calculate that it may have seen a hundred and fifty years pass by, is cut down ; and, by the application of fire, a thick rich juice distills from it, called here miel, or honey. The taste is between that of honey and the finest molasses. The quantity yielded by each tree sells for 200 dollars. » Maria Graham, Journal of a Residence in Chile during the year 1822, London, Longman et Hurst, 1824, p.299. Français : Jubaea |
