Working for Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories, the pharmacist Frederick B. Power studied the seeds of various species of chaulmoogra^{[clarification needed]} from 1904. Power and colleagues identified chaulmoogric acid, which has the formula C₁₈H₃₂O₂, from seeds of what was then called the Taraktogenos kurzii tree.^[3]
