Report of Schimmel 8* Co. 1922. 



The herb without roots, but flowering more abundantly, yielded about the same 

 quantity of oil (0.26 per cent.). It was a little heavier and seemed to be strongly 

 predisposed for resinification: di BO 0.8836, « D + 50° 4', n D20 o 1.50624, acid v. 0.3, ester v. 

 about 70.9 (see above), ester v. after acet. about 81.9, soluble in 4 vols, and more of 

 90 per cent, alcohol with slight turbidity. 



Both oils were brownish yellow and smelled feebly aromatic. When diluted their 

 odour somewhat resembled that of neroly. No similarity with caraway, however, 

 noticed with oils previously distilled 1 ), could be stated.
