SAPINDACEiE. 



DoDON.EA viscoSA Linn. The " Hop-Bushes." The pods were 

 sometimes used by early settlers as hops. This species 

 has a resinous scent, and it is said to have been used 

 for fomentations. The Dodonseas do best on soft, red 

 soil, in slightly elevated situations. They are very 

 attractive, with their differently colored, winged capsules. 

 It is a di(Bcious plant, as are its sister species, and the 

 staminate plants are rare. There are several varieties, 

 such as D. cnneata and D. vulgaris, growing about 

 Cobar, and they are at their best about summer.
