	castor
		Our fossil beaver is also the genus Castor but it is placed in a separate species, californicus, in reference to where the first fossil specimen was found, California.
		Because the bones of the tail, or caudal vertebrae, of the fossil beaver from Hagerman are similar in shape to the tail bones of the living beavers, it is safe to speculate that its tail looked similar to today's beaver.
		The modern genus Castor which we know is aquatic, does not show up in the fossil record until much later in the Pliocene.

	Castor
		Castor oils unsaturated bond, high molecular weight (298), low melting point (5ºC) and very low solidification point (-12ºC to -18ºC) make it industrially useful, most of all for the highest and most stable viscosity of any vegetable oil (Bonjean, 1991).
		The regions in which castor may be grown as a commercial crop are restricted by lack of frost tolerant types and the need for high temperatures (optimum 20 - 25ºC, over 4.5 - 6 months) and low atmospheric humidity to achieve good yields.
		The primary use of Castor oil is as a basic ingredient in the production of nylon 11, sebacic acid, plasticisers and jet engine lubricants, nylon 6-10, heavy duty automotive greases, coatings and inks, surfactants, polyurethanes, soaps, polishes, flypapers, paints, varnishes, lubricants, and many other chemical derivatives and medicinal, pharmaceutical and cosmetic derivatives.

	Aralia - Aralia, Dizygotheca and Polyscias sp.
		The genus Araliaceae was once quite large, but many former Aralias have been reclassified as Dizygotheca and Polyscias species, so now there are few true Aralias left.
		I am not especially familiar with the Araliaceae, but this type of change, chopping up a formerly large genus, occurs when newer taxonomic methods, such as chromosome studies, breeding trials, microscopic examination, etc., reveal that the various plants are not as closely related as was previously thought.
		The Araliaceae in particular, may be hard to study because the flowers are small and as far as I know, members of this family rarely blossom in captivity.
