em., fruit oceasional, narrowly fusiform, somewhat 
grooved and ridged, 2 or 8 locular, calyx persistent or 
ecaducous. N = 12 (Bristol 1431). 
Cy. Biangan is easily recognized by the yellowish 
foliage and, if they are available, the unusual fruits, re- 
sembling those described by Safford (28) for D. swaveo- 
lens. A photograph of ‘Biangin’ flowers appears in Perry 
(27), page 335, centre figure. 
Common names: Biangdn borrachera, chontaruco bor- 
rachera, danta borrachera. 
The Sibundoy know two deer, a small one (biangun), 
said to be only one half meter high, which lives near the 
marsh in the centre of the Valley, and a larger one (mon- 
gqjo) of the high mountains and paramos. Chontaruco 
(‘biangiin’) may be an Inga term, while danta (‘tapir’) 
is a widespread indigenous word adopted by Spanish. 
The Sibundoy think of D. candida ‘Biangin’ as a stimu- 
lant for dogs on hunting trips, but whether their names 
refer to inebriated dogs capturing game animals or to 
the possibility of game animals becoming inebriated 
themselves by browsing on the leaves, is unclear to me.
