PANGIUM EDULE, Reinw. 
A big tree on the river-banks at Kwala Tembeling. The fruit was quite smooth and 
brown, not spotted with white as Blume figures it. It is called “ Payung” оғ“ Kapayung " 
by the natives. The oily seeds are pounded and the oil used in medicine, &с.; but it 15 
also used for attracting fish, in the form of a dark brown odorous substance, a small 
quantity of which is thrown into the water and stirred about, and in a few minutes the 
fish come to the spot. A native who possessed a bamboo-full threw some into a deep 
hole in the river, and on firing a charge of dynamite shortly afterwards, we obtained a 
large quantity of fish.
