Is garinda made from garancine?

Perhaps Turkey St is so called for the same reason that Persia St and those near to it near Antley are so called - Steiner traded there. However, Peel, who owned the land that Turkey St is on, didn't usually do this. He may have wanted to delight the Turkish ambassador. He may have chosen the name on Xmas Day.When I can find my Shurmer's Guide I will have alook for another explanation.
