  <dc:title>Drawing of the base of a silk cotton tree, by Richard Spruce</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Pencil sketch of a fig twined around a [silk cotton or Samaumá] tree trunk in the Parana-miri dos Ramos (a channel of the amazon), [Brazil]. Spruce comments that there were many more twiners which the 'voracious mosquitos' prevented him from sketching. </dc:description>
