lie states that he found them to contain catechu, like U. Gambier, another Indian 
species, from the foliage of which the catechu of commerce is obtained. An 
interesting genus on account of one, U. Gamble)', furnishing from its leaves the 
astringent extract called " Gambier" or " Terra Japonica."
