In Karnataka, Garcinia Cambogia (uppage) is found in the forests of Uttar Kannada
Uppage (pronounced 'oopahjey') is the most commonly used name of Garcinia cambogia, a medium sized (10 m) evergreen tree, which grows in tropical moist evergreen, semi-evergreen, and wet temperate forest types in Southern India. In Karnataka, uppage is found in the forests of Sirsi, Siddapur, Honnavar, Yellapur, and Sagar within Uttara Kannada and Shimoga Districts. Occasionally uppage trees grow along road sides, in residual forest patches and on wastelands around villages.
