Jasciculata,’ Neboueb, Senegal, Seyal,* and Verek,* in Senegal; 
A. gummifera, in Mauritania; 4. Ehrenbergii,’ Seyal, and 
tortilis, in Arabia and Hastern Africa; 4. capensis and horrida, in 
South Africa; 4. leucophlea, in India; A. decurrens,” homalophylla, 
melanoaylon,” mollissima,® pycnantha,’ and Sophore,® in Australia. 
Others, too, of the Mimosee besides the true Acacias also exude 
gummy products, notably certain species of the sections A/bizzia and 
Zygia. A sort of gum is obtained in India from Acacia procera ;* 
another kind, analogous to gum arabic, is obtained from Acacia 
Lebbek 3" while A. stipulata® in Java furnishes a similar product. 
The prototype species of the section Vachellia, A. Furnesiana,” is also 
prized in Java for the gum it furnishes. In North America, again, 
a peculiar gum is known called mezguite,” which flows from the trunk 
of Prosopis glandulosa ;* and another kind called copaltic sweats from 
the bark of Calliandra portoricensis." The gum of Sassa, whose pro- 
perties come nearer that of gum-tragacanth, comes, we are told, from 
one of the Sassas of Brucz,” now referred to the section Zygia of the 
genus Acacia (figs. 34, 35). 
Next the gums come several mucilaginous products, also due to
