For what I have to say concerning this tree 1 may in a great 
measure refer to my Commentary on the first volume of the 
Herbarium Amboinense, the Jaca being identically the same with 
the Saccus arboreus major of Rumphius. With this author one 
might be inclined to think that Tsjaka or Jaca are derived from 
the Dutch word Zak, signifying a sack,—the fruit resembling a 
bag filled with seeds ; for the tree or fruit is by no means called 
Jaka in the Hindustani language, as Rumphius supposed : but 
in that dialect it is called Kantal and Punas, from Panasa of 
the sacred language; and this is the same word with Ponossou, 
which according to Rheede is used by the Brahmans of Mala- 
bar. Pilau is therefore perhaps the proper Malabar name? It 
must however be observed, that the natives of Malabar have 
another tree called Katou Tsjaka (Hort. Mal. iii. 29.), or the 
wild Tsjaka, which has some resemblance to the Tsjaka or Arto- 
carpus integrifolia ; but its fruit does not resemble a sack: and 
this would seem to show that Tsjaka is a generic word not 
derived from the Dutch. By the Burmas this tree is called 
Pi-neh. 
Ata Maran, p. 21. tab. 29. 
In my Commentary on the Herbarium Ambonense (i. 138.) I 
have said what occurs to me concerning this plant. The names 
Ata and Atoa, in general use over India, seem to be derived 
from. the Atas of the Portuguese, by whom probably this fine 
fruit was introduced into India.
