Note that these peats varied considerably in their botanical compositions. The Minnesota peat consisted predominantly of Sphagnum (peat moss) debris with some grasses and conifers. The Maine peat was composed mostly of algal material with some Sphagnum and Nymphaea (water lily) debris. The North Carolina peat was dominated by bay tree (Magnolia, Persea, Gordonia) and gum tree (Nyssa) debris while the Georgia Nymphaea peat consisted predominantly of Nymphaea debris. 

The red gum tree of the southern United States exudes a yellowish balsamic liquid or gum from wounds, which is known as storax. It is produced by removing a section of bark and incising the wood in much the same manner as that used for the production of naval stores gum described above. Storax is used in medicinal and pharmaceutical preparations, such as adhesives and salves, and as an incense, in perfuming powders and soaps, and for flavoring tobacco.

Traditionally, the best gum was produced by hand-picking clear tears of gum. This grade is still available but the price reflects the cost of the hand-picking. As the gum is produced by removing the tears from the gum trees some gum is contaminated with pieces of bark. Because of this the gum can pick up colour and astringent tastes from the bark. Also, raw gum is often contaminated with desert sand.

It is much darker in color than the true gum arabics. 

KINDS OF FIBER. Fiber may be obtained from diverse sources, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seaweed, gum trees, and the laboratory of the organic chemist. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider the plant constituents that comprise most of the fiber in the human diet.

Benzene is the parent of many aromatic compounds, which have both common and lUPAC names. The common names of substituted benzenes often came ftom their sources. One example is toluene, which used to be obtained ftom the South American gum tree, Toluifera balsamum. A few benzene compounds are shovm below. Their common names are shown in parentheses below their lUPAC names. The common names have been used for so long that they have become accepted by lUPAC.
