296 МЕ. Н. М. RIDLEY ON THE FLORA OF THE 
CAESALPINIA NUGA, Ait. 
Jambo, opposite Pekan. 
C. БарРАУ, Linn. DH | 
Common in villages all up the Rivers Pahang and Tembeling. | Also (indisputably wild) 
in dense jungle overhanging the River Tahan. 
CASSIA JAVANICA, Linn. 
A big tree, its branches clothed with beautiful rose-coloured flowers. 
Renchong, Pahang River. 
C. TIMORENSIS, DC. 
Here and there on the banks of the Pahang River above Pekan. 
C. Tora, Linn. 
А common weed in waste ground round Pekan, Pulau Manis, &c.; also on islands in 
Tembling River. 
C. ALATA, Linn. 
Common in damp spots in open country all up the Rivers Pahang and Tembeling. 
Its value as a drug in cases of skin-disease is well known to the Malays. 
CYNOMETRA RAMIFLORA, Linn. 
Small tree, met with once or twice in fruit in the Tahan woods. 
SINDORA WALLICHII, Benth. 
Pods of this tree were picked up on the ground in the forests. 
Baker describes the calyx as armed with large firm prickles. This is not quite correct, 
as the so-called prickles are really quite soft processes when the plant is alive. It is a 
very lofty and inaccessible tree. When in flower it is visited by enormous numbers of 
bees and flies, the roar of whose wings can be heard from the foot of the tree. 
ENTADA SCANDENS, Benth. 
Pekan and on the islands up the Pahang River at Kwala Luit and Pulau Kuichi. 
Common. | 
This plant has a habit of flowering after the fall of the leaves and before the new ones 
come out. There is at least one, and perhaps two, other species of this genus native in 
Singapore; but the above is the only one I have met with in Pahang, and is the only 
one recorded for the whole Indian region. 
PARKIA Вохвовени, б. Don. 
Abundant in the woods along the river-banks in Pahang, and often planted in villages 
in Temerloh &c. 
This is the “ Petay," the beans of which are so greedily sought by the Malays and 
eaten with curries; but it causes their bodies to exhale so foetid an odour that it is 
impossible to have them in camp.
