Hrziscus FLOCCOSUS, Mast. 
A big tree with yellow-orange flowers and a deep red-brown staminal tube. Woods 
along the banks of the Tahan River, and at Pulau Chengei on the Pahang River. 
ТНЕЗРЕЗТА POPULNEA, Correa. 
Common on the sea-coast at Kwala Pahang and elsewhere. 
ERIODENDRON ANFRACTUOSUM, DC. 
Common in villages up the Pahang and Tembeling Rivers. It is called “ Kapok”; I 
have never seen it indisputably wild. 
Dunro ZIBETHINUS, Linn. 
Commonly cultivated. Some of the trees in Pekan are of remarkably large size. I do 
not think it is wild here, although big trees often occur in the midst of thick jungle ; 
these, I believe, are either the remains of cultivation or sprung from seeds dropped by 
the wild tribes, who get the fruit from the villages and carry it about. 
D., sp. 
A small fruit, with the seeds enclosed in bright pink arils, was once brought to me in 
Pekan, from a tree found near that place in the jungle. 
Возснта GnirrrITHII, Mast. 
Common in the woods along the Tahan River. Тһе beautiful little scarlet durians of 
this big tree were often picked up on the ground in the forests. Тһе tree is commonly 
called * Durian daun." 
NEESIA GLABRA, Becc. 
Fruit found fallen in Tahan forests. 
C«LOSTEGIA SUMATRANA, Bece. 
Fallen fruits were seen іп the Tahan woods. This tree is called ** Punggai" by the 
Malays, and its bark is used for tanning. 
STERCULIACER. 
STERCULIA PARVIFOLIA, Roxb. : 
A big tree, conspicuous far off from its crimson fruits, at Khol, on the Tembeling 
River. 
S. MACROPHYLLA, Vent. 
Pulau Papan, Pahang River. 
S. SCAPHIGERA, Wall. 
A very lofty tree. Woods at Kota Glanggi. 
The seeds of this plant are sold in the Singapore markets under the name of * Kem- 
bang Sámangko,"—literally, that which fills a cup. The testa when put in water 
produces a brown mucilage, rich in bassorin, which is eaten with sugar, and is supposed 
to have cooling properties. The seeds are sold at 8 for a cent. 
The iree occurs in Singapore and also in Malaeca; but it is difficult to procure 
specimens, on account of its great height.
