Desmouliere, who appears to have had no knowledge of this previous examination, now makes the same observation, and finds, further, that methyl salicylate is not present as such in the pansy, but, as in the case of Betula lenta and other plants, occurs in the form of glucoside, which in the presence of water, under the influence of a ferment, is split up into methyl ester of salicylic acid and grape-sugar. He has succeeded...
Page 85 - Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor" of the State of Michigan, transmitted to GovRich, February 1, 1893.
Page 89 - Flacourt1) makes some interesting communications respecting the cultivation of ylang ylang trees in Reunion, which are based on practical experience, and therefore contain much useful instruction for those who are interested in the subject. Both Unona latifolia and Unona odorata which have now for a long time been grown as trees for avenues, are suitable for the cultivation. But an absolute necessity therefor are a tropical tranquil climate, and a porous soil containing a certain amount of moisture.
Page 90 - ... acres). It is, however, necessary to see that the trees do not grow to a greater height than 2,5 to 3 m. This is done by cutting off the tops, which at the same time causes a powerful development of the lateral branches and an abundant formation of blossoms, so that the yield becomes very remunerative.

Page 90 - ... to February, but a regular formation of blossoms giving the best yield can only be reckoned upon from May to August.

Page 18 - The odour of the oil showed a great similarity to that of ordinary cananga oil, but left something to be desired with regard to delicacy. This drawback, though, may in future possibly be removed by a more rational method of production.
Page 88 - From the fact that the odour of wintergreen oil only occurs when the herb is rubbed, Desmouliere concludes that the glucoside and the ferment are contained in different cells of the plant, and solely for this reason were unable to act already previously on each other.
Page 65 - ... which is identical with the one obtained by Semmler. If to the myristicin or isomyristicin dissolved in glacial acetic acid, and cooled in ice, bromine is added up to the formation of a permanent yellow colour, there are formed in both cases disubstituted dibromides.
