CHAP. XI. LAMBRI AND FANSUIZ 299
CHAPTER XL
OF THE KINGDOMS OF LAMBRI AND FANSUR.
WHEN you leave that kingdom you come to another
which is called LAMBRI.1 The people are Idolaters, and
call themselves the subjects of the Great Kaan. They
have plenty of Camphor and of all sorts of other spices.
They also have brazil in great quantities. This they
sow, and when it is grown to the size of a small shoot
they take it up and transplant it ; then they let it grow
for three years, after which they tear it up by the root.
You must know that Messer Marco Polo aforesaid
brought some seed of the brazil, such as they sow, to
Venice with him, and had it sown there ; but never a
thing came up. And I fancy it was because the climate
was too cold.
Now you must know that in this kingdom of Lambri
there are men with tails ; these tails are of a palm in
length, and have no hair on them. These people live in
the mountains and are a kind of wild men. Their tails
are about the thickness of a dog's.2 There are also plenty
of unicorns in that country, and abundance of game in birds
and beasts.
Now then I have told you about the kingdom of
Lambri.
You then come to another kingdom which is called
FANSUR. The people are Idolaters, and also call them-
selves subjects of the Great Kaan ; and understand, they
are still on the same Island that I have been telling you
of. In this kingdom of Fansur grows the best Camphor
in the world called Canfora Fansuti. It is so fine that it
sells for its weight in fine gold.3
