NUTMEG AND MACE
Botanical Names:
Nutmeg Myristica fragrans ( Family Myristicaceae )
History:
Only four centuries past, this prized spice was worth its weight in gold with 600 fold profits between the cost at source and its eventual retail price. It has been described as a golden fruit like an apricot. Imagine being able to pick gold from tree, coming back later to find it had grown back. Then imagine an island covered with such trees. No wonder treachery colors the history of this spice since its first discovery by Europeans in 1511, on a tiny speck of land in a remote island that came to be known as the fabled Spice Islands. A peace negotiated between Dutch and British saw Holland pay to steep price to settle the acrimonious conflict over this Nutmeg rich island of Run. In exchange for keeping control of this sole source of nutmeg, the Ducth handed over a small island trading port in the New World of America called Manhattan, not a great bargain in retrospect. Years later the monopoly was broken and nutmeg production had spread to other islands in Indonesia and beyond. |
Botanical Names: Mace Myristica fragrans ( Family Myristicaceae ) |
| History: Mace is the aril of the nutmeg seed shell. The mace is removed from the shell and its broken parts are known as blades. The history of mace is closely tied to the history of nutmeg for obvious reasons, though the two items have been treated seperately. Because the yield of mace is much less than nutmeg’s it has had greater value. A pile of fruit large enough to make one hundred pounds of nutmeg produces a single pound of mace. When the Dutch controlled the Moluccas, one colonial administator sent orders that the colonists should plant fewer nutmeg trees and more mace trees. |
WHAT IS A RHINO? Rhinoceros, often colloquially abbreviated rhino, is a name used to group five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family
rhinocerotidae. Two of these species are native to Africa and three to southern Asia. Three of the five species the Javan, Sumatran and Black Rhinoceros are critically endangered. The Indian is endangered, with fewer than 2,700 individuals remaining in the wild. The White is registered as "vulnerable", with approximately 17,500 remaining in the wild,
as reported by the International Rhino Foundation. |

WHAT IS A GIBBON? Gibbons are apes in the family Hylobatidae. The family is divided into four genera based on their diploid chromosome number: Hylobates (44), Hoolock (38), Nomascus (52), and Symphalangus (50). The extinct Bunopithecus sericus is a gibbon or gibbon-like ape which, until recently, was thought to be closely related to the Hoolock gibbons. Gibbons occur in tropical and subtropical rainforests from northeast India to Indonesia and north to southern China, including the islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Java |

WHAT IS A ORANGUTAN? The orangutans are one of two endangered species of great apes. Known for their intelligence, they live in trees and are the largest living arboreal animal. They have longer arms than other great apes, and their hair is typically
reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Vietnam and China. There are only two surviving species in the genus Pongo: the Bornean Pongo pygmaeus and the critically endangered Sumatran Pongo abelii. The subfamily Ponginae includes the extinct genera Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus. |
