Abundant on the banks of the River Tahan, and also on the River Tembeling and upper 
part of the Pahang River, but less frequent. І found fruits, too, floating in the mouth of 
the Tringganu River. 
This noble tree is called * Nerrum” by the natives. Its chief beauty consists in the 
bright pink fruits, which, being produced in very large quantities, make the whole tree 
appear of a rose-colour. Тһе flowers, as is often the case іп the Dipterocarpew, are 
deliciously scented, and load the air with their fragrance. Тһе timber is hard and guod, 
red-coloured internally. 
I have to thank Dr. Burck for examining this plant for me, and informing me that it 
is quite unknown to him.
