GwNETUM GNEMON, Linn. 
Sir Joseph Hooker, in the * Flora of British India,’ refers to this species, with doubt, the 
scandent G. Brunoniamun, Griff., which is certainly distinct in habit. What I take to be 
typical 6. Gnemon is a good-sized tree with a stout stem about 20 feet high when full- 
grown. I have never met with this as a wild plant, but it is cultivated in Singapore and 
Penang. 1 found on the banks of the Tahan a small slender tree, or large shrub, with 
oblong-acuminate leaves and small orange drupes, eatable and sweet, which I suppose 
must be considered as a variety of this species, differing chiefly in the shape of the leaves. 
G. BruNoNIANUM, Griff. 
This plant, which appears to me in habit quite distinct and never passing into G. 
Gnemon, is a comparatively slender climber. I met with it at Pulau Tijau and Temerloh. 
б. SCANDENS, Roxb. 
Very abundant at Kwala Pahang, climbing extensively over bushes and trees in 
the thickets and draping them with its glossy-green leaves.

A very large climber with green male flower-spikes. Таһап woods.

With very rough bark on the branches and narrower lanceolate-acuminate leaves, 
coriaceous, drying brown. Female spikes with rusty hairs round the ovules. Possibly 
a distinct species. 
Pulau Rumput, Pahang River. 
G. EDULE, Blume. 
A lofty climber with much bigger seeds (2 inches long) than any other species known 
to me. They are sessile, elliptic acute, and dark brown. Оп very high trees in thick

I have also received seeds of this from Kemaman, where the plant is said to be used 
by the aborigines in the manufacture of arrow-poison. 
It has not hitherto been recorded from the Peninsula.
