Outstanding among the trees from which specimens were/obtained are the “palo de asucar'for "sugar tree," so-called because of the preSence in the bark of a sweet edible resin with the consistency of real sugar; and the "pale de' aeeite" or “palo de man- teea't which means "lard tree." The latter, preiriomsly known only to the Minus, excretes an oily substance which in appearance, taste, consist- ency and-other properties is a close affinity to the lard. rendered from ani- mal fats, Williams writes.
