Panama rubber

English

Noun

Panama rubber (usually uncountable, plural Panama rubbers)

  1. The latex from the Panama rubber tree used to produce rubber.
    • 1886, N. Cantley, Notes on Economic Plants, page 13:
      Other foreign rubber, such as Para, Ceara and Panama rubbers grow well, but so far as experiments have gone, the produce of latix is very watery and it is doubtful whether they will hold their own against the better native kinds.
  2. Synonym of Panama rubber tree.
