AntiAris, Lcsch. Antiar or Antschar, its Java- 

 nese name. Linn. 21, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Arto- 

 carp&cecz. This is the far-famed Upas poison- 

 tree of Java— ^the Boom or Bon Upas of the 

 Javanese. The poison obtained from it is of a

 neighbouring isles, attaining a large size, and 

 its exhalations produce very unpleasant effects 

 upon persons who stay long near it. The 

 cultivation is easy, requiring merely to be 

 potted in a mixture of light sandy loam and 

 heath mould, and in the growing season to 

 have plenty of heat and moisture,
