Rubber tree plants along the road driving from Munnar to Thekkady, and thus coming down significantly in altitude from the tea lands. They are thin, and their leaves are relatively small. Most of the trees were cut in four grooved rings, and frequently they had a tap like the kind used to collect maple syrup sap. The plastic lining in the grooves presumably helps keep the latex sap from congealing. At any rate, these trees were everywhere.
