CUCURBITACES. 
ZANONIA MACROCARPA (BI.) Cogn. in Bull. Herb. Bois. i, 612 ; Schum. & 
Laut. 589. 
Manokoeari, liane, everywhere in forest. Fr. Jan. 5746. 
Distrib. New Guinea (N.E. and §.E.). Java, Borneo. 
The most conspicuous plant seen along the coast in the lower forest. It 
obliterates whole trees with dense walls of verdure, while the huge fallen 
fruits, rotting on the ground, are the most striking objects in the forest. 
The seeds, with transparent wings about 10 cm. across, often fill the air, 
lazily borne on the breeze, like great butterflies, for which, indeed, I took 
them at first in the distance.
