AUSTRALIAN VEGETABLE EXUDATIONS. 401 
Kinos orn ASTRINGENT EXUDATIONS. 
Eucalyptus hemastoma, Sm., var. micrantha, Benth. 
(N. O.. Myrtacez). 
“White Gum,” “Cabbage Gum,” “Brittle Gum.” 
Collected at Bungawalbyn, Richmond River, N.S.W., July 1895. 
This kino is freshly exuded for the most part. It belongs to 
the ruby group of kinos, being practically identical with the kino 
of the normal species described in the proceedings of the Linnean 
Society. 
Eucalyptus Planchoniana, F.v.M. (N. O. Myrtacez). 
We have two small samples. The first was received from 
F, M. Bailey, ¥..s., Colonial Botanist of Queensland, and is of 
Queensland origin. 
When received, this kino was rather dark in colour, evidently 
through having been collected some time. It is in small pieces, 
Principally in portions of tears, breaks with a bright fracture, and 
is shiny on the outside. It dissolves in alcohol to a clear liquid, 
bright but dark, it is very tough and difficult to powder. It 
belongs to the ruby group. 
Our second sample collected on the Evans River, N. 8. Wales, - 
is unfortunately also nota good sample for complete examination, 
since it is old and much dried up, while phlobaphenes have 
formed to a very large extent. From experiments independently 
made it falls in the ruby group, being another addition to that 
fairly large group of Eucalypts giving exudations that entirely 
dissolve when fresh in both alcohol and water. We hope to obtain 
a better specimen for further examination. 
Schizomeria ovata, Don. (N.O. Saxifragez). 
Collected at Evans River, N. 8. Wales.
