	THE SILK COTTON
		The silk cotton has never become commercially important in the Caribbean, but it is significant that it has been held in great dread by people from several cultural backgrounds.
		In some Caribbean countries, the silk cotton tree is called the “god tree’ or the “devil tree.” In Guyana, it has been called the “jumbie tree.” The tree has been regarded by some as having a soul or a resident spirit.
		Obeahmen claimed to be able to cast a spell by driving a nail into a silk cotton tree, then call on an evil spirit to cause someone’s soul to leave his body and live in the tree.
