Protium

Protium
sp.
Carana hediondo (S); Carano (P); Chutra (P); Ruda (C). The aril of the seeds is eaten by most frugivores, including man (!). One of Panama's most valued suppuratives, the gum from the tree is used in two ways. When you will not be getting wet for a while, you heat and apply to screw worms. It apparently suffocates them and when the carano gum is pulled off, out come the dead worms. Cool, it is applied to torsalo, and to spine-induced wounds to prevent infections (!). Also it is applied externally for headaches. The plant is also used to cure asthma. The heartwood kindles easily.
