To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. 10*70 Waxy fat and a trace of tannic acid, soluble in ether 1 *oo Besinous and colouring matter soluble in boiling alcohol 2*55 Gum, mucilage, sugar, and colouring matter soluble in boiling water . . . 24*00 Albuminous compounds .... 6*92 Woody fibre 47*93 Ash 6*90 The ash of the pods was, after having been treated with water, found to have a distinct alkaline reaction. The component elements were found to be the same as those already mentioned for the seed, but in the pods the quantity of ph...osphoric acid appears to be less. Tlie testing was, however, simply qualitative. In Europe, at least in our latitude, the Phormium tenax, though, and this even rarely, yielding blossom, as for as I have been able to ascertain, does not yield fruit. The oil I obtained from a lars^er quantity of the seed by exhaust- inff it by means of bisulphide of carbon was rather deep veilow coloured, but this is no doubt due to the fact that bisulphide of carbon, though an excellent solvent for oils, also extracts some resinous and colouring matter 1 think, and as oil-yielding material and as food for cattle the seed and pods of Phormium tenax deserve the atten* tion of the inhabitants of New Zealand, Hie crushed seed has a pleasant smell, and in contact with warm water distinctly reminds me of the fragrance of the Badhi iridis florentincB (orris root).
