Página 341 - The gum is procured by making longitudinal incisions through the bark in the months of May and December, when the cuticle glistens with intumescence from the distended state of the parts beneath : the operation is simple, and requires no skill on the part of the operator. On its first appearance the gum comes forth white as milk, and, according to its degree of fluidity, finds its way to the ground, or concretes on the branch near the place from which it first issued, from whence it is collected...
