About Gomphia serrata
Campylospermum serratum (Toothed-Leaf Gomphia) is a plant in the family Ochnaceae. The specific epithet serratum is from the Latin meaning "with teeth", referring to the leaf margin. It is found in Tropical Asia, from Sulawesi, Indonesia to Hainan, Zhōngguó/China and over to southwestern India. Gomphia serrata was a previous common name for the species. The plant is used for its wood and its sap is used in folk medicine and in the past for teeth-blackening.
