| Notes: | Label source: The gum, Shimptee, or Mooi cha goud. This gum is partly in tears of yellowish tinge, and partly in colourless angular fragments, which are full of fissures like gum arabic; it has a disagreeable taste, and is not astringent; about one half, of it is completely soluble in water the remaining portion forms a slimy mucilage, but is not gelatinous. The soluble portion, which is feebly acid, is precipitated by alcohol, and in a less degree by oxalate of ammonium, not at all by perchloride ofiro, n or borax. Odina gum is mentioned in the Pharm of India, but is probably of no medicinal value, it might be of use in calico printing. | ||||
