Copaifera bracteata + Indigofera ingrata
« on: December 12, 2011, 07:50:52 PM »
Does anybody have information about any of these species? - or pictures?

I've got a question on a Norwegian site and it is hard to find anything about them.

 The Copaifera has purplish wood... so perhaps  there may be a dye/colour  use connection?

Thank you Maggi; I had found one of the Kew images but not the other!
I think they produce some kind of oil and resin from the wood of Copaifera.

Thank you Uri; I had found that German site too but reading it once more I found a new link!
