Etymology
In DRAE for jebe I read:
 * Del ár. hisp. šább, y este del ár. clás. šabb.
 * 1. m. Bol., Ec. y Perú. hevea.
 * 2. m. Am. caucho (‖ látex).
 * 3. m. desus. alumbre.

So I understand that a Spanish name for Hevea and alum comes from Arabic shabb, the meaning of which I don't know.

In the French description linked to in the article:
 * Cet arbre eſt nommé SIRINGA par les Garipons ; HÉVÉ par les habitans de la province d'Eſmeraldas au nord-oueſt de Quito, & CAOUTCHOUC par les Maïnas ; PAO SERINGA par les Portugais du Para.

hevea says:
 * From the genus name Hevea, from Quechua hyeve (“rubber tree”).

but the etymology is unreferenced.

So does the word "Hevea" ultimately come from Arabic or from Quechua? --Error (talk) 09:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * In DCECH for jebe I found that šabb means vitriolo and alumbre in Arabic.
