pung and Bangkahulu), and in a few parts of western 
Java, where it is often confused with B. racemosa, the 
kapundung (Heyne, 1927; Ochse, 1931; Smith in 
Koorders & Valeton, 1910). In south Sumatra, it is very 
common; the fruits are offered for sale in the markets 
of Palembang. In Sturtevant’s Notes on Edible Plants 
(Hedrick, 1919), a confusion occurs between this fruit 
and the rambeh, which is B. Motleyana, while Jack 
(1825), clue to lack of information, is of the opinion that 
the tjupa and the rambeh are different varieties of B. 
dulcis. Again, in Sturtevant’s Notes, B. dulcis is men- 
tioned as being cultivated in China. This is incorrect: 
what Royle, from whose book the statement was cited, 
referred to is B. sapida.

pairs. The petioles are 1.5-8 cm. long, subtended by 6 
mm. long, lanceolate, fimbriate stipules. This species is 
dioecious. The male racemes are 2.5-7.5 em. long, borne 
usually on the branches or on the trunk, the female ones 
are about 14 ecm. long, lower on the trunk; both inflores- 
cences are tomentose. The male flowers are fascicled on 
very short lateral rhachises, the pedicels are ca. 1 mm. 
long, the unequal sepals are four to five, the stamens
