GAMBOGE, is a concreted vegetable juice, the produce of two trees, both called by the Indians caracapulli, and is partly of a gummy and partly of a resinous nature. It is brought to us either in form of orbicular masses, or of cylindrical rolls of various sizes; and is of a dense, compact, and firm texture, and of a beautiful yellow. It is chiefly brought to us from Cambaja, in the East Indies, called also Cambodja, and Cambogia; and from thence it has obtained its names of cambadium, cambogium, and gambogium.
