46 RUBBER-CONTENT OF NORTH AMERICAN PLANTS. 



VIII. SPECIES EXAMINED WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. 



In the attempt to discover as many rubber-bearing species as possible 

 many sorts were examined on the mere chance that rubber might be 

 present. In a few cases it was unexpectedly found in non-latex 

 plants, as indicated in the preceding table. The remaining species, 

 those in which no rubber could be detected with certainty, are enum- 

 erated below. All were subjected to a chemical analysis, but in no 

 case was more than a fraction of 1 per cent of benzene extract obtained. 

 Such small amounts are almost certainly some other substance than 

 rubber when they occur in non-latex plants. The locality mentioned 

 for each species is the place of collection of the sample.

 yielded 1.4 per cent of benzene extract, indicating that rubber is possibly present in this species.
