Rubber Tree | Source of Natrual LatexNatural rubber latex is made from the rubber tree, Hevea Brasiliensis, originating in Brazil. In 1876 the seeds were exported to England and germinated at Kew Gardens in London. Joseph Priestly, a British chemist, amed it "rubber" when he noticed that it could rub away pencilmarks.

The rubber tree thrives in hot damp regions, and today, 90 percent of true rubber production takes place in the Southeast Asian countries of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
