Banks of the Tahan River. Fruiting specimens only were found, which I think 
belong to this species, but the fruits were much larger (3 inches long) than described 
by Dr. King. Тһе foliage is, however, exactly similar. i 
. Ryparta Scorrecuintt, King. 
Tahan woods. A small tree, very striking, from the long pendulous racemes of 
velvety-black angular fruits. 
В. FASCICULATA, King. 
Pulau Tawar woods; also Pulau Chengei. 
This is called * Tajam Bulat" or “ Panchow " by the natives. Тһе tree much resembles 
a Rambai (Baccaurea Motleyana, Hook.), producing on its stem long racemes of globose- 
triquetrous fruits about an inch and a half long and about the same in thickness. Тһе 
skin is thin and pale buff, and encloses three seeds enclosed in a white pulp of very 
excellent flavour, superior, in fact, to that of the Langsat, which it much resembles. 
As a fruit it was not relished by the Europeans at least, on account of its possessing 
decidedly purgative qualities.

I cannot find any description to fit this plant, nor have I elsewhere seen it; but till 
flowers are seen one cannot be certain even of its affinities.
