GARCINIA NIGRO-LINEATA, Planch. 
Kwala Berar. This is the plant known as “ Kandis ” by the natives. 
The fruit, which is often produced in very large quantities, is excellent. It is about 
the size of a large cherry and of a light orange colour. The pulp of the seeds is very 
refreshing. The tree is usually a small one, and is very common in Singapore. The 
flowers are bright yellow. It is possible that there may be two or three species combined 
under this name; but I am more inclined to think it is one very variable species. 
С. ATRO-VIRIDIS, Griff. 
The well-known Asam Gelugur is cultivated or half-wild at Temerloh and elsewhere. 
Its fruits, which make a most excellent preserve, are sliced and dried in the sun by the 
Malays and sold in many parts of Pahang as elsewhere, but it is very little known to 
European residents. It is a handsome small tree, with bright red shoots and dark 
green old leaves, dark crimson flowers, and large, yellow, grooved fruits.
