In bulk, this kino resembles, in general appearance, that of 
Angophora intermedia It is, perhaps, a little brighter in appear- 
ance than the latter. To cold water it yields a pale orange 
solution, leaving a quantity of a turbid sediment of a salmon 
colour, in which are interspersed a few dark-coloured particles.

The specific gravity of the kino from this tree is about 
1.378, and the percentage of tannin 64.51. (Staiger.) A sample 
from Colombo, near Candelo, N.S.W., yielded the author 95.53 
per cent. of extract, and 54.12 per cent. of kino-tannic acid.

It is of a bright-ruby colour, soluble completely and entirely 
in cold water when fresh, characteristics it possesses in common 
with many other kinos, e.g., amygdalina, macrorrhyncha. It is 
soluble in water, and when dried forms shining scales. They 
may be placed on wounds, cuts, or ulcers, with satisfactory 
results. (Bancroft.) It is a little gummy, and, therefore, does 
not powder well.

This tree is comparatively rich in kino, as much as 23 per 
cent. having been obtained from the fresh bark by Baron Mueller;
