| Notes: | Label source: Gum similar to gum arabic The Chemist & Druggist 5.xii.1908 p 849. A new gum from German East Africa - known as gundi has been discovered in the Tabora steppes, large quantities being obtained from a species of Acacia. It is similar to gum, arabic and senegal gum, but has to be dissolved in hot water under pressure. The solution possesses adhesive properties but turns to jelly on keeping. It is regarded as a 2nd class adhesive that may find technical uses if shipped cheaply enough. | ||||
