nano, the spellings we use are correct. it's easy to google, metacrawler etc. try 'cattapa tree'... copy paste, search, you get the idea... 'peat' is easy to figure. there's online dictionary as well if you need the oxford or wikipedia definition. can't go wrong...

what interested me is this paragraph...
. 'In Taiwan the fallen leaves of tropical almond are used as a herbal drug in the treatment of liver related diseases. The leaves contain agents for chemo-prevention of cancer and probably have anticarciogenic potential. They also have a anticlastogenic effect (a process which causes breaks in chromosomes) due to their antioxidant properties. The kernel of Indian almond has shown aphrodisiac activity; it can probally be used in treatment of some forms of sexual inadequacies (premature ejaculation). Ethanol extract of the leaves shown potential in the treatment of sickle cell disorders. Tropical almond is also used by breeders of tropical aquarium fishes to keep them healthy. These include bettas, catfishes and black water tetras. Since tropical almond has antibacterial properties, it is excellent in this regard.' cool eh...so start collecting...find some nuts to...i mean the almond nut to boost erm..
