Horticultural Society’s Garden in 1827, and distributed in the following
year; but it is remarkable that the greater part of them have since dieii,
generally when they were about 4 or 5 feet in height. Notwithstanding this,
the species does not appear to be much more tender than F. ¿trbbus. The
resin which exudes from thc trees, when they are partly burned, loses its

usialflavom, and acquires a sweet taste; in which state it is used bv the
natives as sugar, being mixed with their food. Tlie seeds are L e n roasted
or are pounded into coarse calces for their winter store. H. S. roasted.
