If cold water be poured on this ligneous flour, enclosed in a linen bag, it becomes milky, and considerable pressure and kneading is required to express the amylaceous or starchy part of it.

Nevertheless, it is possible that the amylaceous principle is rendered more easily assimilable by boiling, and that by this means the tubers actually become more nutritious.

The saccharine, or amylaceous substances constitute the most abundant of the proximate constituents of plants.

Treatment.—Stomach-pump and emetics, carbonate of sodium, amylaceous fluids, gruel, arrowroot, starch, etc.

Cubical amylaceous pieces, of a darker brown than the other kinds.
