VARIATIONS IN THE COMPOSITION OF GUM EXUDATES FROM LEUCAENA LEUCOCEPHALA AND L. DIVERSIFOLIA GROWING IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS

SUMMARY The recent submission of gum samples collected from Leucaena leucocephala and L. diversifolia in Guatemala has enabled comparison to be made with the corresponding data published previously for these species growing in India and Hawaii. The limited data available to date (n = 6, leucocephala; n = 3, L. diversifolia) indicate that L. diversifolia appears to be more variable, geographically, than L. leucocephala.
