calophyllum Inophyllum, L. Nom.
"The Medicinal Plants of the Philippines"
T. H. Pardo de Tavera
Though the flowering season of the calophyllum is of the past, the tree which bestows on the beaches the deepest shade and is handsome in all its parts must not be disregarded, for does it not, ever and anon, strive after a higher purpose than the production of goodly leaves, white flowers, and nuts "harsh and crude"?
"Tropic Days"

If botanical science can develop the meritorious tendencies the fruit occasionally exhibits, the calophyllum would certainly rank as one of the most wonderful of all tropical fruits.
