Chapter IV — 79 — Nepenthes 



B. H. Danser (1927) remarks that no trace of these superstitions 

 is to be found nowadays, but that the Malayans from Malacca and the 

 Riouw Archipelago use the fluid from the unopened pitchers to wash 

 their eyes or put it on inflamed skin until the new skin is formed. 



He points out also that the long viney stems (lianas) of N. ampul- 

 laria are used as ropes for slinging foot-bridges. Possibly other species 

 are similarly used.
