# DIVI-DIVI
Are the pods of the Cœsalpinia coriaria, a member of the family of trees growing in tropical America and yielding sapan, brayil and other red woods used for dyes. They are excessively astringent, containing a large proportion of tanic and gallic acid, for which reasons they are used by tanners and dyers.
