This solvent dissolved 67-69 percent, of the extract, leavincj 1777 P^r cent, of insoluble alcoholic solution gave the following evidence of resinous mat-ter; the addition of water caused the precipitation of greenish resin-ous substance; alcoholic solution of ferric chloride gave a darkgreen color; alcoholic solution of lead acetate produced a greenflocculent precipitate. The small amount of the ether extract,which water and alcohol failed to dissolve, was also insoluble inaqueous solution of potassium hydrate; alcoholic solution of potas-sium hydrate dissolved it, however, and it proved to be a mixture ofchlorophyll and resinous Fig. 5. After the exhaustion with petroleum ether and ether, the plantyielded 104 per cent, of matter to the solvent action of absolutealcohol. Water dissolved 84-97 per cent, of the extract.
