The rubber tree is native to S America, and the town of Para comes to mind. The most important improvement undoubtedly lies in vulcanization, the addition of chemicals which enable the latex to form stable long chains. Goodyear was one of these.

Native latex suffers many problems in use, wear resistance, sunlight degrading, and so on.

Eventually, the S American monopoly on the ownership of the rubber tree was broken, and the plant was introduced to other favourable climates a plantations.
