The two Hancornias also produce a sort of rubber, but their fruits are the 

 most uniquely flavored and deliciously fragrant of perhaps any of the Ama- 

 zonian fruits. The Abiu and Biriba — at their best — are the peers of any 

 tropical fruits. It should be noted that there are hundreds of seedling varieties 

 of all of these fruits in the Amazon country, and among them in each case, 

 are represented everything from good to bad.
