Literature | Bark Dogs in their wild state never bark; they howl, whine, and growl, but do not bark. Barking is an acquired habit; and as only domesticated dogs bark, this effort of a dog to speak is no indication of a savage temper. Barking dogs seldom bite. Huffing, bouncing, hectoring fellows rarely possess cool courage. French: "Tout chien qui aboye ne mord pas." Latin: "Canes timidi vehementius latrant quam mordent." Italian: "Can che abbaia non morde." German: "Ein hellender hund beisst nicht leicht." To bark at the moon. To rail at those in high places, as a dog thinks to frighten the moon by baying at it. There is a superstition that it portends death or ill-luck. "I'd rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman." Shakespeare: Julius Cæsar, iv. 3 His bark is worse than his bite. He scolds and abuses roundly, but does not bear malice, or do mischief. The proverb says, "Barking dogs never bite." Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Bark is the outmost layer of stems and roots of woody plants (trees). It consists of three layers: the cork, the phloem, and the vascular cambium - in other words, most of the stem except for the xylem. (This division may seem arbitrary, but the easiest way to split a stem parallel to its length is by pulling the bark away from the xylem.)The vascular cambium is the only part of a woody stem where cell division occurs. It contains undifferentiated cells that divide rapidly to produce secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside.
Along with the xylem, the phloem is one of the two tissues inside a plant that are involved with fluid transport. Phloem's specific job is the transport of organic molecules - particularly sugars - to wherever they are needed.
Cork, sometimes confused with bark in colloquial speech, is the outermost layer of a woody stem, derived from the cork cambium. It serves as protection against damage, parasites and diseases, as well as dehydration and extreme temperatures. Cork can contain antiseptics like tannins. Some cork is substantially thicker, providing further insulation and giving the bark a characteristic structure, in some cases thick enough to be harvestable as cork product without killing the tree.
Among the commercial products made from bark are cinnamon and quinine.
Bark is also the word used to describe the characteristic sound made by certain animals, such as dogs, foxes, or sea lions.
To bark describes a rude way of talking.
A bark is a specific sail-plan of sailing ships, sometimes used poetically to describe boats of any kind.
The Bark scale is a psychoacoustical term.
For other meanings, see Jesuit's bark, bark cloth, barque.

 | After the bark is peeled off the Pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin), it is ground up. Taxol is then extracted and purified to produce the chemotherapy drug to treat a variety of cancers. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Taxol, found in the bark of the pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin), is a promising anti-cancer drug. It takes 30,000 pounds of bark (2,000-4,000 trees) to produce one kilogram of taxol. The tree had to be sacrificed to produce the bark. It can take decades for pacific yew to reach shoulder height, small trees yield less bark. Alternatives for producing taxol are being explored. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | PALM, n. A species of tree having several varieties, of which the familiar "itching palm" (Palma hominis) is most widely distributed and sedulously cultivated. This noble vegetable exudes a kind of invisible gum, which may be detected by applying to the bark a piece of gold or silver. The metal will adhere with remarkable tenacity. The fruit of the itching palm is so bitter and unsatisfying that a considerable percentage of it is sometimes given away in what are known as "benefactions." |
