Acacia Cebil, Grisebacb. 
La Plata States. There one of the most useful of all trees, on 
account of its bark, which is exceedingly rich in Tannic Acid.

Numerous other Acacise, particularly the Australian species, 
deserve yet tests for tannin. 
Acacia implexa, Bentbam.

content with poor soil. Wood firm and close, dark brown, with 
yellowish stripes ; much in demand for turnery, cog-wheels and 
other purposes, which need tenacity and strength. ( Dickinson .) 
Bark available for tanneries.

In the waterless interior of South-west Australia. The ** Bad- 
jong.” A comparatively tall species, which, according to Mr.

season. The aborigines store the gum in hollow trees for winter 
use ; it is of a pleasant, sweetish taste. 
Acacia penninervis, Sieber. 
Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. A small tree, so 
hardy as to occupy sub-alpine localities. The bark contains 
about 18 per cent, of tannin.
