Can you explain the Difference between garcinia indica and garcinia combosia?

Garcinia indica is a tree from India whose edible fruit is used in various dishes as a seasoning. It has many common names, including Bhirand, Kokam, and Red Mango (though it is not a Mango). There are numerous uses for other parts of the plant, including dyes and preservatives from the rind, and lip balm and other uses for oil from the seeds. The tree is rare and endangered, though sometimes cultivated for its fruit or as an ornamental. There is no species known as Garcinia combosia. Perhaps you mean G. cambogia, which is a common but incorrect name for G. gummi-guta, commonly called Indian Gamboge, Brindleberry, and Malabar Tamarind (though it is not a Tamarind). (There is a host of other local common names, and it has many scientific synonyms as well.) This is the main source of the weight-loss drug often called Cambogia or Garcinia. The fruit is edible. Other parts of the plant are used as a dye, and were formerly used as purgatives and laxatives but were quite dangerous and are no longer prescribed for humans.

What is a good example for Qualitative observations?

A good example of qualitative observations is describing the color, texture, and aroma of a ripe fruit. For instance, one might note that a ripe mango is bright yellow, has a smooth and slightly wrinkled skin, and emits a sweet, fragrant aroma. These observations focus on the characteristics that can be perceived through the senses, rather than measuring or quantifying them.
