| Notes: | Label source: See Pharm Journ 11.5.0, p.596 Chaulmoogra seeds - Extract from Annual Report of the Royal Botanic Gardens Calcutta for the year 1900 to 1901. (Major D Prain) 'A question having arisen as to the source of the seeds known as 'Chaulmoogra' lar, gely used in native medicine and now attracting considerable attention in Europe an endeavour was made to settle the point. The seeds in question have usually been attributed to the species known as Gynocardia odorata. Having satisfied himself that this o, pinion is erroneous, the Superintendent invoked the assistance of Dr Watt, Reporter on Economic Products, to clear up the point. Thanks to Dr Watt`s exertions the matter has now been definitely settled. The seeds known as Chaulmoogra are not those of the, tree known by that name but of the species known as Taraktogenos kurzu.' | ||||
