Notes: | Label source: A gum from New Caledonia obtained at Canala on the east coast side of the Island by Mr Drayier and given by him to me. With this is a sample of the wood of the tree from which the gum is collected. The incision made in the bark of the tree, produces a copious flow of the gum. The gum is soluble in alchohol and burns with a pleasant odour. Very large quanities of the gum might be readily obtained in the Island if it were found suitable for varnish or otherwise. The wood of the tree is com, monly used for building purposes. The bark and leaf of the tree are said to be like those of a Dammara. HM Mosely. |
