What is Hevea?
The Hevea or Brazilian Hevea (Hevea brasiliensis) is an exotic wood from the Euphorbiaceae family that originated in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. It is a large tree that can reach up to 30 m in height and 1 m in circumference. It is better known as the rubber tree because of the laticifere tissues it contains, from which the latex is extracted and transformed into rubber. Although Brazil was once the main rubber grower, the tree is now found in abundance in South-East Asia and Africa.
