Wood of bombards

Also called wood of drum , or tamboul elliptic , the wood of bombards ( Tambourissa elliptica ) is an endemic tree of the island of the Meeting pertaining to the family of the monimiacées .

The trunk of the old individuals becomes generally reinflated and hollow, which formerly made it possible to make of them rustic Ruche S, locally called “bombard”.

As at the other species of the kind Tambourissa , the flowers are very particular. The unisexuées inflorescences which appear directly on wood resemble small figs. They open while tearing and while revealing simplified flowers; the male flowers are in particular reduced to only one cheesecloth.
