Bulu Ongko, The poison tree of Java. I have never heard of it in the Sunda districts. 

 The Bulu Ongko is a large forest tree growing in the Eastern districts of Java. I have 

 seen it in Malang and inland of Banyuwang''i , and the people there all assure you 

 that from its juice the virulent poison is prepared. Bulu they say is the name of a 

 particular Ficus called in the Sunda districts Bunut , to which the leaf bears a resem- 

 blance; and Ongko is an abbreviated form of Nongko, nangka, the Jack fruit tree, 

 because the fruit resembles it. In most books the famous Poison tree of Java is said 

 to be called Anchar , antiaris Toxicaria; that name having been assigned by either 

 Leschenault or Horsfield. Anchar may be the name in some districts , but I have ne- 

 ver been able to hear of the word any where on Java.
