A common shrub throughout the East Indies, growing 
in almost every soil and situation, but thriving most on the 
sea-shore. Described as sometimes acquiring а stem of 
20 feet in height, and of a greater circumference than a man 
can encircle with his arms. The smaller kinds of cordage 
are made from its bark. It is also said to be indigenous of 
the West Indies; and Mr. Salisbury thinks that the elatus 
of Swartz is a variety of it.
