Ceiba speciosa, the floss silk tree (formerly Chorisia speciosa), is a species of deciduous tree that is native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It has several local common names, such as palo borracho (in Spanish literally "drunken stick"), or árbol del puente, samu'ũ (in Guarani), or paineira (in Brazilian Portuguese). In Bolivia, it is called toborochi, meaning "tree of refuge" or "sheltering tree". In the USA it often is called the silk floss tree. It belongs to the same family as the baobab; the species Bombax ceiba; and other kapok trees. Another tree of the same genus, Ceiba chodatii, is often referred to by the same common names.

Description

The natural habitat of the floss silk tree is in the northeast of Argentina, east of Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. It is resistant to drought and moderate cold. It grows fast in spurts when water is abundant, and sometimes reaches more than 25 metres (82 ft) in height. Its trunk is bottle-shaped, generally bulging in its lower third, measuring up to 2 metres (7 ft) in girth. The trunk is studded with thick, sharp conical prickles that deter wild animals from climbing the trees. In younger trees, the trunk is green due to its high chlorophyll content, which makes it capable of performing photosynthesis when leaves are absent; with age it turns to gray.

Leaves, stems, and flowers

The branches tend to be horizontal and also are covered with prickles. The leaves are composed of five to seven long leaflets. The flowers are creamy-whitish in the center and pink toward the tips of their five petals. They measure 10 to 15 centimetres (4 to 6 in) in diameter and their shape is superficially similar to hibiscus flowers. Their nectar is known to attract insect pollinators and hummingbirds. C. speciosa flowers are in bloom between February and May (in its native Southern Hemisphere), but it may bloom at other times of the year, even as late as November in Florida.

[가지는 가로지르는 경향이 있고 또한 가시로 덮여 있는데, 잎은 5~7장의 긴 잎겨드랑이로 이루어져 있다. 꽃은 중앙에 크림색을 띠고 5 개의 꽃잎 끝을 향해 분홍색을 띤다. 지름이 10~15cm(4~6인치)이고 모양은 표면적으로 히비스커스 꽃과 비슷하다. 그들의 꿀은 곤충 수분제와 벌새를 유인하는 것으로 알려져 있다. C. speciosa 꽃은 2월과 5월 사이에 피지만(남반구에서는) 플로리다에서는 11월 말까지도 일년 중 다른 시기에 피어 있을 수 있다.]

The flowers of the related C. chodatii are similar in form and size, but their color goes from creamy white centers to yellow tips. As a deciduous tree, it is completely bare of leaves and flowers during the winter months, especially when growing outside of its native South American habitat.

Fruits

The fruits are lignous ovoid capsules, 20 centimetres (8 in) long, which contain bean-sized black seeds surrounded by a mass of fibrous, fluffy matter reminiscent of cotton or silk.

[ 열매는 20 센티미터 (8 인치) 길이의 목질 난형 캡슐로, 면화 또는 실크를 연상시키는 섬유질의 푹신한 물질로 둘러싸인 콩 크기의 검은 씨앗을 포함합니다.]

Uses

The "cotton" inside the capsules, although not so good quality as that of the kapok tree, has been used as stuffing (density = 0.27 g/cm3). The wood can be used to make canoes, as wood pulp, and to make paper. The bark has been used to make ropes. From the seeds, it is possible to obtain vegetable oil (both edible and industrially useful).

The floss silk tree is cultivated mostly for ornamental purposes. Outside of private gardens around the world, it is often planted along urban streets in subtropical areas such as in Spain, South Africa, Australia, northern New Zealand, and the southern USA, although its prickled trunks and limbs require establishing safety buffer zones around the tree in order to protect people and domesticated animals.

Ceiba speciosa is added to some versions of the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca.

[ 캡슐 내부의 "면"은 카폭 나무만큼 품질이 좋지는 않지만 채우기 (밀도 = 0.27 g / cm3)로 사용되었습니다. 나무는 카누를 만들거나, 나무 펄프를 만들거나, 종이를 만드는 데 사용될 수 있다. 나무껍질은 밧줄을 만드는 데 사용되어 왔다. 씨앗에서 식물성 기름 (식용 및 산업적으로 유용)을 얻을 수 있습니다. 치실 명주는 주로 관상용으로 재배된다. 전 세계의 개인 정원 외에도 스페인, 남아프리카 공화국, 호주, 뉴질랜드 북부 및 미국 남부와 같은 아열대 지역의 도시 거리를 따라 심어 져 있지만 가시가있는 줄기와 팔다리는 나무 주위에 안전 완충 지대를 설치해야합니다 사람과 가축을 보호하기 위해 Ceiba speciosa는 환각 음료 Ayahuasca의 일부 버전에 추가됩니다.]
