It is supposed that Siam gamboge is obtained
from this tree, also that known as Ceylon gamboge. The juice is
collected by incising the stems, or by breaking young twigs of the
tree and securing the yellow gum resinous exudations in hollow
bamboos, where it is allowed to harden. It is employed by artists
in water colors and as a varnish for lacquer work.
