COPERNICIA (COBYPHA) CEBIFEBA, this is the Carnauba Palm of Brazil, one of the most 
useful and hence valuable Palms known. Tlio top, when young, is an appreciable and 
nutritious article of food ; and from this tree also wine, vinegar and a saccharine matter are 
extracted, as well as a kind of gum similar in its tastes and properties to Sago. From the 
wood musical instruments are made, as also tubs and pumps for water. The delicate fibrous 
substances of the pith of the stalk and its leaves make a good substitute for cork. The roots 
have the same virtues as the Sarsaparilla. The pulp of the fruit is of an agreeable taste, and 
the nut, oily and emulsive, is roasted and then used ns coffee by many persons. From the 
tnmk are obtained strong fibres, and also a species of flour similar to Maizena, and a licjuid 
resembling that of the Bahia Cocoa-nut. From the dried straw are made mats, hats, baskets, 
and brooms ; and large (juautities of the straw are exported to Europe for the manufacture of 
fine hats. Finally, from the leaves is produced the wax used in the manufacture of candles ; 
and the export of this wax from Brazil exceeds .€162j000 a year in value. and 2 guineas
