It forms a crystalline powder, consisting of small quadratic tables, slightly soluble in cold water and alcohol, more soluble in the same liquids at boiling heat, melts at 200°, and can be distilled unchanged. It does not yield a violet color with ferric chloride, but in other respects resembles salicylic acid.
