616 ON KINGS AS AN AID IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF EUCALYPTS, 



Eucalyptus pauciflora, Sieh. (Syn. E. coriacea, A. Cunn., 

 the species name in B.Fl. iii. 201, and a more correct one 

 than Sieber's.) 



17. "Cabbage Gum." Monga, near Braidwood, 1st and 2nd 

 October, 1886. Height, 60-80 ft. ; diam., 1-2 ft. A free yielder 

 of Kino in this district. 



This Kino is rather tenacious, adhering to pestle and mortar, 

 and yielding a dull orange-tinted powder. It dissolves readily 

 and almost entirely in cold water, forming a medium ruby liquid, 

 with a garnet residue. 



Kino-tannic acid, 55-37 per cent.; insoluble phlobaphenes, 8-6 

 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 91*8 per cent. 



Eucalyptus pilularis, Smith, B.Fl. iii. 208. 

 Found in Victoria, N. S. Wales, and Queensland. 



Following are Dr. Wiesner's remarks on a sample of this 

 Kino : — 



" Readily soluble in water, red solution, faintly acid, turbid * 

 on cooling, traces of gum-resin. Pieces opaque, earthy, or with 

 slight fatty lustre, dark reddish-brown." 



18. "Blackbutt." Eastwood, near Sydney, 28th April, 1888. 

 Height, 50 ft.; diam., 1 ft. 



In outward appearance this Kino so closely resembles the 

 sample E. jnperita (Valley), as to be scarcely distinguished 

 from it. 



Cold water dissolves it readily, forming a quite clear liquid. 

 Like very new Kinos it has a purplish rose tint. Colour of 

 residue Vandyke brown. 



Kino-tannic acid, 65.52 per cent.; insoluble phlobaphenes, 2-8 

 per cent.; soluble in cold water, 96-4 per cent.
