EASTERN COAST ОҒ THE MALAY PENINSULA. 355 
ARTOCARPUS RIGIDA, Blume. 
Common, wild and cultivated. Kwala Tenok on the Tahan River, Tanjong Antan, 
and at Pulau Tawar, Pahang River, where there are some magnificent trees. "This is 
the ** Tamponet " of the Malays, the best by far of the sweet eatable Artocarpi. It is 
very superior to the Jack in flavour, and does not possess its disagreeable odour.

The ** Champedak " is really wild in the woods of the Tahan Valley. It often occurs 
as an escape or relie of cultivation in Singapore and elsewhere, but I never saw it 
indisputably wild before.

At Kwala Tembeling. 
This is the tree so well known as “ Getah Terap." It is by far the commonest species 
of the genus in the Peninsula, but as it flowers only when full-grown it is not often 
collected. "The latex is used by the natives as bird-lime, and used to entrap the turtle- 
doves known as ** Tucucu " (Turtur tigrinus). These are caught with the aid of a decoy- 
dove, which is attached by a string on its leg to a stick, about 3 or 4 feet long, placed 
horizontally on a tree. Тһе decoy sits оп one end of the stick, the other end of which is 
smeared with the Getah Terap, on which the wild doves alight, and are thus caught. Тһе 
bast layer of the tree is used for cloth by the Sakais. 
PELLIONIA DuvavANA, М. E. Br., var. VIRIDIS. 
In damp woods on banks. Pulau Jellam, Lubu Lanjoot, Pahang River, and also 
in the Tahan River woods. It is common, too, in Malacca. 
There are two forms of this plant, the commonest of which has rather broad green 
leaves (var. viridis), and has a somewhat different appearance ; but the flowers seem 
to me identical with those of the plant described by N. Е. Brown, whieh has rather 
narrower leaves, mottled with or entirely purple. This latter form is a native of the 
northern part of the Peninsula. : 
The leaves are succulent rather than fleshy. The stipules are pink. The male cymes 
are reddish ; sepals olive-green, tinted with red, with green blunt keels. Anthers white, 
with a pink connective; loculi divaricate, filaments semi-transparent. Female flowers on 
different branches from those producing the males, sessile in small compact heads 4 
of an inch each way, much shorter than the pink stipules; very small. Bracts ovate 
acuminate, about equalling the short pedicel. Sepals five, lanceolate acute, gibbous at 
base, greenish, spotted with pink. Pistil oblong, rosy. Stigma penicillate, with very 
many white hairs. Achenes very small, oblong, black.

Two other plants apparently belonging to this genus occur in the limestone rocks 
of Kota Glanggi.
