Flora: "Dragon's blood"
There are several kinds of "Dragon's blood" in Guadeloupe. This one is a member of the DRACAENA family. They can be green or green and yellowish white. They were imported from Africa to act as boundaries to plots of land or hedgerows. You will often see them on our trails. Sometimes you will spot them at the top of the mountains, which shows that these lands were farmed in the past.

Flora: Candlewood
Candlewood, <em>Dacryodes Excelsa</em>, stands out with its long trunk (35 metres), up to 1.50 wide, and its grey colour. Unfortunately, cuts are often made in the bark to extract a sticky and fragrant sap (white resin). The sap is used to make incense, mainly during the carnival period, to smoke out evil spirits along the carnival route. Native Americans used the trunk to make boats (canoes or Kanaoua).
