1 I. xpv'ris (Forst. fl. austr. no. 197. pl. escul. 50. no. 18. 
Lin. syst. 408. suppl. 239.) leaves oblong, sub-cordate at the 
base ; racemes axillary, hairy ; flowers small, bracteate. h.S. 
Native of the Society and Friendly Islands, and New Hebrides, 
in the South Seas; also of Amboyna and Java. Lam. ill. t. 362. 
—Rumph. amb. 1. t. 65. Forster describes this as a lofty tree, 
with brown, chinky bark. Leaves sub-distich, ovate-oblong, 
hardly cordate, blunt and retuse, seldom acute, a span long, and 
on young trees a foot. Flowers pale yellow. In Otaheite this 
tree is called Hz, and the fruit Ratta. In Mallicollo the name 
of the tree is Nias; and in Tanna, Emmer. In Cook's last 
voyage, 1. p. 393, the nuts are called Zisi. The kernel of 
these, which is kidney-shaped, and about an inch in diameter, is 
eaten roasted by the inhabitants of the Society and Friendly 
Islands, the New Hebrides, New Guinea, the Molluccas, &c. It 
is sweetish, but less pleasant than the chestnut, harder, and less 
farinaceous. The bark is astringent, and is used in dysentery. 
In New Guinea they smear the heads of their arrows with the 
expressed resinous Juice.
