A bitter principle is a term used to identify something that imparts a bitter taste.  Bitter principle is the term used when the chemical identity (of whatever imparts a bitter taste) is not known.\n\nFor instance, sneeze weed has a bitter principle and when cows eat sneeze weed their milk aquires a bitter taste.  \n\nSome Sandoricum species (also called sapodilla) have a chemical that is called sapotinin.  Sapotinin is found in the seeds of Sandoricum, so care must be taken when eating the fruits so that you don't ingest seeds and experience the bitter taste.    \n\nSandoricum koetjape is the same as Sandoricum indicum.  Sandoricum indicum contains sapotinin (the bitter principle).  It was called the bitter principle before it was purified and chemically identified.  Today we now know that the bitter pinciple of Sandoricum indicum is sapotinin.

It is the place where the species was developed. That determines that each specie requires determined conditions to grow at optimal rates. I.e. eucaliptus requires a lot of water, so you will not find it in a dessert. \nIf you plant a tree outside its habitat it may not grow as much as in its habitat. It may inclusive die.

there is such a thing as dictionary.com, you know. I looked it up for you though:\n\nThe inspissated juice of an umbelliferous plant (the Opoponax Chironum), brought from Turkey and the East Indies in loose granules, or sometimes in larger masses, of a reddish yellow color, with specks of white. It has a strong smell and acrid taste, and was formerly used in medicine as an emmenagogue and antispasmodic.\n\n an odorous gum resin formerly used in medicines

It is a natural chemical compound known as a bioflavanoid found in grapefruit, giving it its bitter flavor.\nThis powerful bioflavonoid has antioxidant and antifungal properties, and as such may help prevent cancer and atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), as well as a number of other ailments.\n\nNaringin also works synergistically with other nutrients, increasing the bio-availability (how much nutrient is absorbed by the body) and therefore maximizing the health benefits of these nutrients.\n\nIt is important to note this citrus extract interferes with enzyme activity in the intestines, and therefore can inhibit the breakdown of certain drugs. That is why you should consult with your physician if you are on any medication before eating grapefruit.

Thru the hyperdeminsional cell structure of the base fiber lead in that causes the hermitcis percillium to react in an osmosis retention and propolsion effect which dilutes the potended ethylene compond saturation, and therefore transforms the base ethephon into active ingredient ethylene. \n\nGood question, \n\nDarryl S.

that`s not normal for that plant. If you check the page that you send  with the question , it says that it`s a plant from Madagascar . That island is in a tropical zone , so there's`s not freezing temperatures in there, so that plant it`s getting hurt because of the cold . In the tropical plants , when the temperature goes below 0ºC , the water inside the cells freezes, forms ice  and it  breaks the cell membrane , so what you see in your plant  n the morning are dead cells. Please try to put it in a warm place at night

To answer your question\n\n'Santau' is an infamous traditional Malay poison concocted from variety of materials and substances. \n\nThe poisonous substances used to make 'santau' can be from animal origin (toxins of snakes, centipedes, jelly-fishes, toads), including that of insects like caterpillers, cockroaches, and spiders. Sometime cat's placenta, bat's eyes or even that of owls and woodpeckers are used. Mating kingcrabs have also been used in the concoction. These can also be mixed with substances from toxic plants (for example 'getah ipoh' - Strychnos ovalifolia, 'kacang hantu'), including 'toxic' parts of bamboos and sugar-canes. Other innate objects like glass, silk threads, iron brushes, nails of human or animals, bones of animals and materials from dead woods, soil and earth have also been found in some concoctions. All or some of these are ground together and concocted into a compact preparation called 'santau'. \n\nThe concoction is used to poison others by either introducing it in foods and drinks or applied to clothings, chairs or one's resting place. Some of the concoctions can result in immediate effects while others would depend on the intake of other 'precursors' such as vinegar, lime juice, goat meat and the like. This latter mode of poisoning is rather unsuspecting making it difficult to 'diagnose' and treat. \n\nPrior to its use, the concoction is usually kept for several days so that they are thoroughly 'fermented' and become even more deadly. A period of 40 days is normally observed. A less poisonous santau is kept for a shorter time period. This process is usually carried outside of the house, as a precaution against any untoward incidence from happening in home arising due to its highly toxic nature. It is then left buried in the ground for example under banana trees. \n\nApart from the variety of poisonous substances used, santau is generally of two types based on whether there is an involvement of any spiritual elements, or otherwise, especially in the process of concocting it. 'Santau angin' is one of the type, so-called because it can be delivered to the victims via the blowing wind, presumably with the help of the 'evil spirits' (akin to the use of 'black magic'). \n\nThe effects of santau range from coughs, itches and rashes, sore throat and hematemesis (vomiting of blood) to the involvement of psychological symptoms - insomnia, depression and psychosis, and even bizzare behavioural changes, especially if 'santau angin' is allegedly used. Over the years, the victim's physiques worsened and the memory may also deteriorate. The overall health will be severely affected and the final consequence can be fatal.

The Guinness Book of World Records currently lists a 12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" as the oldest tree on earth. Previously, the "Methuselah" Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) held the record at about 4,700 years.\n\nThe Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) was first identified as a long-lived tree by Dr Edmund Schulman following surveys in California's White Mountains in 1954. The oldest pines grow at elevations above 3,000 metres in arid, rocky areas of the Great Basin that covers the state of Nevada and parts of Utah and California. (This mountainous area of 500,000 square kilometres has no rivers or creeks flowing out of it.) They exist on the tree line in severe conditions, and often appear to be mostly dead, with only part of the trunk having living bark and leaves. This growth strategy is a response to damage from climate and lightning strikes, and allows the tree to exist on limited resources.\n\nThe bristlecones of Wheeler Peak in Nevada were believed to be older than those found in California. In 1964 a geology student called Donald R. Currey came to Wheeler Peak to study ice age glaciers, partly by collecting tree ring data. Using coring tools, he identified trees over 4,000 years old.\n\nWhen his coring tool jammed inside a massive tree, he asked for, and received, permission from the US Forest Service to cut the tree off at 2.4 metres above the ground and keep a horizontal slab for study. When this slab had its rings counted, it turned out to be over 4,844 years old. Later cores taken closer to ground level by dendrochronologist Don Graybill showed it to be 4,862 years old - the oldest living thing ever discovered.\n\nWheeler Peak is now part of the Great Basin National Park, which was created in 1986.\n\nThen a 4,600+ year old bristlecone called "Methuselah" in the White Mountains of California was considered as the oldest tree now living. Some reports have it as 4,789 years old.\n\nWe can say,today,as ref to The Guinness Book of World Records,12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" is the oldest tree on earth!!

Very bitter. When you place it in your mouth you can taste it because the tongue is wet or moist, it is bitter.

Where is Calimecita when you need her!!!\n\nArchaeopteridales\n(Upper Devonian to Mississippian)\nPerhaps one of the most remarkable paleobotanical discoveries is the work done by Charles B. Beck in the 1960s. Through careful and painstaking work, he was able to demonstrate that the fossil wood known as Callixylon and the leaves known as Archaeopteris, shown at left, were actually part of the same plant. This may sound trivial, until one realizes that the fossil record seldom preserves whole organisms intact. \nIn the case of Archaeopteris, the leaves were reminiscent of ferns, and in fact produced and released spores in a manner consistent with this interpretation. As a result, they were considered to be some sort of fossil fern. The wood Callixylon, by contrast, was considered similar to modern conifers, and was placed with the seed plants. When Dr. Beck demonstrated that fossils of Archaeopteris were physically attached to Callixylon wood, it was realised that the plant, now collectively called Archaeopteris, was actually an extinct group of plants unlike any living plants today -- it had both wood and fern-like reproduction. \n\nYes...........I cut and pasted. (Hoping it would all make sense to you!!)

Tea tree oil does come from tea tree leaves, but it is most definitely not the same as drinking tea. Tea tree oil taken internally is poisonous! I don't know how to make it, but I've put down a link about tea tree oil.
