large quantites. It yields a fairly pale solution.

Sometimes called “ Sally.” 
This shrub, or small tree, rarely exudes gum, sofar astheauthor’s 
experience goes. But a plant 14 inch in diameter, found by him at 
The Valley, Blue Mountains, yielded about an ounce of a pale 
gum.

This species often produces 5olb. from one tree in one season. 
The aboriginals store it in hollow trees for winter use; it is of a

A “ Yarran.” 
A sample in the Technological Museum dissolves entirely in 
. cold water, forming a perfectly clear, almost colourless solution of a 
brownish tint. Like some other wattle-gums, this would require 
selecting for the market. There is a marked difference in 
appearance between the old and new gum of this tree. The new
