CHURCH.— On the Chemistry of Phormium tenax. 
Appendix to Report. 
The following analyses of the seeds and capsules of the Phormium tenax 
were made in 1865 by Dr. Adriani. Inthe belief that they may prove a useful 
addition to a report on Phormium tenax, I add them here as an Appendix. T 
have not had the materials for verifying them at my disposal.
