Like B. Wrayi this species serves to connect Phunera with Lasiohema. In 

 Perak, Mr. Wray informs us, the Malay name of this species is Dtidau ; he says 

 that string and r^jpe are made from the inner bark. Dr. Jack, on the other liand 

 limits the name Dadaiih, in Sumatra, to his B. emarginata. In Malacca tliere appears 

 to be some dabiety as to the ilalay name of the species, the following being thoso 

 noted:— ^fcar Katop-Katop (Derry, 1118; Holmberg, 866; Goodenough, 1276): 

 Jkar t"pak kuda meruh (Goodenongh, 1672): SaruJt (Holmberg, 850): Vanga Sarau 

 (Derry, 481).
