| Notes: | Label source: The gum of this tree is greenish yellow, translucent, in small mamilliform masses, having a mild terebinithate odour and taste. Only a very small part of it is soluble in rectified spirit, causing a slight turbidity; in water it rapidly di, sintegrates forming a tolerably thick mucilage, in which globules of oleo resin may be seen with the microscope; the insoluble portion is amorphous, flaky and white. The mucilage is precipitated milk white by rectified spirit. I am not aware of this gum, having been used for any purpose. The tree is nowhere very abundant; my specimen came from N Canara.
