“heve” seems to be a generic name for rubber trees, as 
Aublet, in founding his genus eme (Hist. Pl. Guiane Fr., 
p. 812) says: “Cet arbre est nommé siringa par les Garipons ; 
hévé par les habitans de la province d'Esm eraldas au nord-ouest 
de Quito, et caoutchouc par les Mainas.' 
Judging from the material in the herbaria of Kew and the 
British Museum there are two species of the genus Castilloa, 
namely : C. elastica, rimging from Mexico to Ecuador, and the
