Gutta percha was the wonder substance of the Victorian age used to make stuff from removeable shirt collars to revolver grips. So good, so usefull, they rendered the tree from which it came, of the same name, functionally extinct. "It is illogical to render extinct a species you find so usefull" to paraphrase a certain Vulcan.
