Massia glauca (Annonaceae) – twig only.<\/a> : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments<\/span> (1)<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Syn. Polyalthia parkinsonii.
<\/i><\/div>\n

Abundant tall trees in interior evergreen forests<\/font> of Andaman Islands at low altitudes.<\/font><\/div>\n

The sample was photographed for documentation as the primitive Jarawas use the bark strips for making bow string.<\/font><\/p>\n

amazing, ….<\/div>\n

bow strings are generally made of muscle sinews along a mammals shoulders or where really long muscles are .. and then processed by aboriginies\/ natives into really strong strings..resilient\u00a0 and one that does not dry out and break.<\/div>\n

I am amazed astonished that tree bark would yield such strong and resilient material for bow string.<\/div>\n

Is there any data showing that strength?<\/div>\n

Did some anthropologists already collect these bows and their strings…<\/div>\n

or did your group?<\/div>\n

would we be fortunate to see their specimen? or their papers where they tested the strength<\/div>\n

wonders never cease…<\/div>\n

I am not saying it could not happen, just that there is so much we do not know of the native technology.<\/p>\n

\n

Anyone interested may visit the Anthropological Museum at Port Blair where such items are exhibited.<\/p>\n

Jstor e eta pellum Spelling is Maasia<\/strong> … with double A and single S.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
they are saying its a new genus…\u00a0 paper was apparently published in 2008.<\/p>\n
\n

I feel that the best way for checking a name is to download the software of Index Kewensis and type the plant name there.\u00a0It will guide us to the correct name and spelling.<\/p>\n
