Gardenia Florida And Gardenia Radicans
Cape Jasmines, so called 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.
