PHYLLANTHUS PULCHER, Wall. (Reidia glaucescens, Miq.) 
Very common along river-banks from Pekan to the Tahan River. It is evidently 
a native here, but I am less certain about Singapore. І have never seen it there except 
where it may be an escape from cultivation.

This is the Chekop Manis of the Malays; an excellent vegetable, much cultivated 
in Singapore, but eaten only by natives. It is a small shrubby plant, with dull green 
leaves, which have often a whitish blotch in the centre. Flowers dull red; fruit rather 
large, pendulous, white or rosy, with the persistent red sepals at base. Seeds black.
