Hay en esta tierra unos árboles que llaman amacuáhuitl. Tienen lisa la corteza, y las hojas muy verdes. Son del tamaño de duraznos. De la corteza dél hacen papel, y cuando ya es viejo córtanle, y torna a echar renuevo.
\nHay una manera de árboles que se llama copalcuáhuitl. Son silvestres. Tienen la madera muy liviana y recia, y hacen desta madera xícaras vasos.
\nHay otros árboles que también se llaman copalcuáhuitl. De éstos mana aquella resina blanca que se llama copal, que es el incienso que ofrecían a sus dioses. Mucho dello se vende agora en los tiánguez, porque es muy bueno para muchas cosas, y es medicinal. Hácese en las provincias de Tepecuacuilco y de Yohualla, y en las provincias de Cohuixco.
\nHay otra manera de árboles que se llaman ocotzocuáhuitl o xochiocotzocuáhuitl. Son altos y gruesos, y tienen las hojas como alisos. Mana dellos una resina. Della hacen las cañas del humo que chupan.
\nHay otros árboles que se llama olcuáhuitl. Son grandes, altos, y hacen gran copa. Destos árboles mana aquella resina negra que se llama olli. Para que mane, córtanle la corteza, y por allí mana el olli. Esta resina que se llama olli es muy medicinal; casi para todas las enfermedades es provechosa; es medicina para los ojos; es medicina para postemas y pudrimientos, y también se bebe con cacao; es provechosa para el estómaco y para los intestinos, y provechosa para los pudrimientos interiores, y para la cámara cuando se cierra. Esta resina hácese muy correosa; hacen della pelotas para jugar, y salta más que pelotas de viento.
