Couma utilis

(

)

... that not only does Couma utilis have edible fruit, its latex is used as a base for chewing gum, caulking boats, and whitewashing houses? Source: A árvore exsuda látex branco não elástico de todas as suas partes, que ainda possui valor comercial como matéria-prima na indústria de goma-de-mascar (chiclete)... É ainda usado pelos indígenas e caboclos da região para calafetar canoas e embarcações, bem como para caiação das palafitas.

Comment: The statement in the hook is also supported by English-language sources in the article, but not as conveniently. Abductive (reasoning) 08:02, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

@Dunkleosteus77: I added the page numbers and some more refs. Thanks for the review. Abductive (reasoning) 08:51, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Ref 1 isn't formatted correctly User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk 15:40, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@Dunkleosteus77: That's the way botanical databases abbreviate those things. Flora Brasiliensis has a Wikipedia article. Anyway, I have wikified the citation, but I assure you that you will receive pushback from WikiProject Plants editors if you make a habit of saying those refs are formatted incorrectly. All of Wikispecies and nearly every Wikipedia article on plants is formatted that way. Abductive (reasoning) 22:33, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
