from a supposition that they were natives of the Cape of Good
Hope. The genus belongs to the cinchona family. _G. lucida_
furnishes a fragrant resin somewhat similar to myrrh. The fruit of
_G. campanulata_ is used as a cathartic, and also to wash out
stains in silks. _G. gummifera_ yields a resin something like
Elemi.
