Scientific Names

Read about Calophyllum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Calophyllum (Greek, beautiful-leaved). Guttiferaceae. Woody plants of the Old World and American tropics, with shining leathery leaves, sometimes planted South. Leaves parallel-veined at right angles to the midrib: fls. polygamous in many axillary or terminal clusters; sepals and petals 4-12, in 2-3 series; stamens very numerous: fr. a drupe with a single erect seed.—Sixty species. Closely related to Garcinia, which, however, has only 4-8 sepals. In India, several species are of considerable economic importance, especially C. ionophyllum, which is the source of a gum, and the seeds of which contain the well-known domba oil used extensively for lighting purposes. They must be grown in a warmhouse and in a rich well-aerated soil. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
