capable of receiving a high polish; as also, are the zanthoxylum 
caribseum, which is likewise a dye-wood, the erithalis fruticosa, 
which preserves its fine odor, orange-wood, rose-wood, guyaeum, 
laurus, sassafras, and different kinds of the walnut. Among 
the dye-woods are, logwood, in quantities inexhaustible, fustic, 
and satin-wood, (yellow;) Brazilwood, (carmine;) myrthus 
cotenifolia, (yellow and brown;) laurus sassafras, (yellow;) 
colocoba uvifera, (red;) Braziliastrum americanum, (brownish 
red;) malphigia urens, (red and black;) morus tinctoria, 
(yellow;) and the roots of laurus jasmini folio, a sort of iron- 
wood, which give a violet dye. There are hundreds of others 
which it is impossible to enumerate. For tanning purposes 
there are many trees whose bark is invaluable, — such as the 
guava, corossol, anona squamosa, eupana americana, malphigia 
specata, and innumerable hosts of others. For paper manu¬ 
facturing, now that there is so great a demand for materials, 
Hayti might export an inexhaustible supply of aloes, perfoliata, 
and other plants which serve to make good common paper. Of 
resinous woods there is a great variety.
