   Gamboge \Gam*boge"\, n.
      A concrete juice, or gum resin, produced by several species
      of trees in Siam, Ceylon, and Malabar. It is brought in
      masses, or cylindrical rolls, from Cambodia, or Cambogia, --
      whence its name. The best kind is of a dense, compact
      texture, and of a beatiful reddish yellow. Taking internally,
      it is a strong and harsh cathartic and emetic. [Written also
      {camboge}.]
  
      Note: There are several kinds of gamboge, but all are derived
               from species of {Garcinia}, a genus of trees of the
               order {Guttifer[91]}. The best Siam gamboge is thought
               to come from {Garcinia Hanburii}. Ceylon gamboge is

               {gamboge butter}.
