Sassafras leaves contain not only sassafras flavour but also a gummy mucilage. |
They say that things are on the way out when you produce volumes of clear mucilage. |
A similar pattern of schizogenous mucilage has also been reported for Hibiscus schizopetalus. |
The root cap covers the root tip and secrets mucilage which facilitates the movement of the growing roots in the soil. |
The mucilage sap of narcissi can adversely affect other flowers by clogging their water-uptake channels. |
This is probably owing principally to the mucilage contained in the bran, which runs into the acetous fermentation sooner than starch. |
