Quillaja saponaria
(gcide) | Saponin \Sap"o*nin\, n. [L. sapo, -onis soap: cf. F. saponine.]
(Chem.)
A poisonous glucoside found in many plants, as in the root of
soapwort (Saponaria officinalis), in the bark of soap bark
(Quillaja saponaria), etc. It is extracted as a white
amorphous powder, which produces a soapy lather in solution,
and produces a local anaesthesia. It is used as a detergent
and for emulsifying oils. Formerly called also struthiin,
quillaiin, senegin, polygalic acid, etc. By extension,
any one of a group of related bodies of which saponin proper
is the type.

(gcide) | Quillaia bark \Quil*la"ia bark`\ (Bot.)
The bark of a rosaceous tree (Quillaja Saponaria), native
of Chile. The bark is finely laminated, and very heavy with
alkaline substances, and is used commonly by the Chileans
instead of soap. Also called soap bark.
