Botany Bay Gum

A red or yellow resin obtained from the base of Australian grass trees of the Xanthorrhoea family. Red accroides, or red gum, comes primarily from X. australis in southeastern Australia. Yellow accroides, or black boy gum, is relatively scarce and comes from the tree X. preissii of Western Australia. The resins are chemically similar to balsams and contain some cinnamic acid.
