[corr. of F. touloucouna = tulukuna, native name in Wolof lang. of Fr. Senegambia; in the cognate Serer lang. tulukuni. (Thence by contraction kunda, COONDA, also coondi.)] A West African tree, Carapa guineensis. Tallicoona oil, a fixed oil expressed from the seeds of this.
[1832. Guill. & Perr., Fl. Seneg. Tent., I. 128. Vulgo dicitur Touloucouna ab incolis…. On obtient par expression de ses amandes une huile fixe connue dans le pays sous le nom d’Huile de Touloucouna.]
1866. Treas. Bot., 221. Carapa guineensis is a native of Senegal, and scarcely differs from the last [C. guianensis, the source of Carap or Crab oil]. Its seeds yield Tallicoonah or Coondi oil, which, besides being used for the same purposes as Crab oil, is employed as a purgative and anthelmintic.
