The well-known Kenanga of the Malays, is not wild in the 

 peninsula, only occurring in gardens and orchards, where planted. 

 It is readily known by its large flaccid fragrant flowers, at first 

 green, gradually becoming yellow, and its dark green, eventually 

 black, pulpy fruit with the black-pitted seed. 



Rumphius' genus Caiianga was pre-Linnean and thus is not retained, as 

 Aublet unfortunately transferred this suitable name to a South American 

 plant of a different genus.
