GARCINIA XANTHOCHYMUS<\/a>:\u00a0During my stay at Tezpur I came to know about different species of Garcinia<\/i>. Most common of them all is Garcinia xanthochymus<\/i>. In Assam it is known as Tepol-tenga<\/b>. It is known as Dempel<\/b> in Bangla. It is found in E.Himalayas in Sikkim and northern W.Bengal upto an altitude of 5000ft. And fairly common in the evergreen forests of Assam.<\/span> The raw fruit, temptingly beautiful, is very acid, especially in the fleshy rind. I saw only one tree of this species at Cooch Behar. Attaching two images of the same.

The Tamala – Garcinia xanthochymus:<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The long search for the Tamala<\/b> – the most famous but the least known tree – has ended. Famous because it is glorified by celebrated poets of sixth century, Kalidasa, down to twentieth century poet Tagore. For devotees of Krishna this is sacred as it epitomizes the divine personality. Such a famous tree is not known to anybody whom i come across.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Recently i have seen this tree in the Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, quite comfortably thanks to the courtesy of the Director, Dr. Debnath. I am attaching a few photos of the tree and its parts provided by Basant K. Singh.<\/div>\n
    I am adding a synopsis of the long investigation extended to five years. If any one is interested he or she may read the following :-<\/div>\n
    It all started in a get-together. A friend was reading the Gospels of Sri Ramakrishna (Kathamrita). Tamala<\/b> was mentioned in the text. I asked my friends-‘ do you know Tamala’. Nobody knows. The hostess took out a dictionary and found the name – ‘it is a tree similar to Gaab’ [Eng. Gaub persimon – Diospyros peregrina<\/i>]. The search for Tamala began. In a reciprocal request i urged … to help me. He put a notice. Information poured in from many, in particular from … All these boil down to Cinnamomum tamala<\/i>. Its leaf called Tejpata is daily used in culinary preparation. Interestingly in Gujrati it is called ‘tamal patra’. This tree grows wild in tropical and subtropical Himalayas, Khasi and Jaintia hills.<\/span><\/div>\n
    Ayurvedacharya Shibkali Bhattacharya is an authority on plants. He specified Tamala is Garcinia xanthochymus<\/i>(syn. G. tinctoria<\/i>). Sometime back i brought this to the notice of our group members. Its Sanskrit, Hindi, and Bengali name is Tamala<\/b>, Eng. name Sour mangosteen, false mangosteen, Gambose<\/b>. Sanskrit , Hindi or Bengali namesake may also refer to other species or genus viz. G. morella<\/i>, Cinnamomum tamala<\/i>, Diospyros montana.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
    \n

    The sacred Tamala<\/b> of Vrindavan is yet to be conclusively identified. George Harrison and Srila Prabhupada wrote some fifty pages on Tamal and Vrindavan. They say ‘Radaharani in separation was embracing the Tamala tree. – – And they say that in Vrindavan only there are four trees left.’ It is possible. Since the time of Sri Chaitanya pilgrims from different parts took a plant on their return. One Swami of Belur Math brought a plant from Vrindavan some thirty years back. I took a twig and put it before the members. Experts say it belongs to Diospyros montana<\/i>. Interestingly its Sanskrit name is Tamala<\/b>. Since the fruit or flower of this particular tree not seen a conclusion could not be arrived at.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Thanks for reopening the thread. Few months back I received Sanskrit Pandulipi (Manuscript) from Krishna Devotee of Nepal which describes <\/span>Tam, Tamal, Tamala, Tamalini, Tamalak, Tamal Patra, Tamali<\/b> with different Shlokas. From reading it, it seems that neither <\/span>Garcinia<\/i> nor <\/span>Diospyros<\/i> is suitable candidate for it. Sacred Tamala was once used in Yagyas specially Soma Yagyas. And also in Yagyas for Healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    I did a bit of study on Tamaal a decade ago. It is your co-operation which helped me to get a lot of information through your members. Thanks to all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    Ultimately it is Dr Basant Singh who took me to the Tamal tree in the Botanical Garden and later sent me the snaps i attached.<\/div>\n
    \n

    This brief account dated 5\/6\/12 is the gist of my effort at that time which was lost to me, You have revived that. Accept my grateful appreciation.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Thank you … I saw TAMAL in my childhood in East Pakistan (Now Bangladesh). I started searching for the scientific name of the tree in1993 when I was in Lucknow. The Useful Plants of India (CSIR publication) has all the names of TAMAL as mentioned by Mr Subrata Mahapatra. In 1994 I attended a WWF work shop at Ashoka Hotel in Delhi, where some people from Brindaban brought a sapling of Tamal. Immediately my mind reeled back to my childhood memory, as the sapling resembles my TAMAL. Unfortunately the delegate members from Brindaban could not tell the scientific name. There are two trees at this place (Cooch Behar). One big tree is in the famous Madn-Mohan temple compound. Everybody knows it as TAMAL. There is another tree at Tufangunj in the compound of a temple. These trees are definitely Garcinia. I know many Garcinia species which I have seen at Assam. TAMAL of ancient and modern literature is definitely Diospyros montana (according to The Useful Plants of India this tree in Sanskrit is TUMALA).<\/p>\n

    \n

    I came across this\u00a0interesting thread which highlights and was struck by how relevant this discussion is to modern situation also.<\/p>\n

    I am a novice tree planter who interacts very occasionally. This tamale tree is reportedly only in 3 places in India as seen from A Tamil Notice Board in a place called Thennangur Temple near Vandavashi. It is worth visiting by enthusiasts.
    \nThe temple has Orissa Architecture and dedicated to Lord Panduranga. The walls of this temple are decorated with Fibre glass Images. Lots of information about this temple is in Google search.
    \nAny interested person can speak to me on phone …
    \nThis place is about 100 Km’s from Chennai<\/p>\n

    I am looking for information about Mysore Gamboge (yellow mangosteen) tree. I want to protect this species and distribute it in western ghats, where they were earlier very common, but slowly becoming difficult to sight. Can someone please help me find it?<\/div>\n
    I’d be willing to pay any costs for transportation\/ foraging etc to gather it.<\/div>\n
