Hydnocarpus kurzii
Hydnocarpus kurzii is a species of flowering plant in the family Achariaceae. It is found in India and Myanmar. It is used as a traditional medicinal plant.
Working for Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories, the pharmacist Frederick B. Power studied the seeds of various species of chaulmoogra from 1904. Power and colleagues identified chaulmoogric acid, which has the formula C18H32O2, from seeds of what was then called the Taraktogenos kurzii tree.
