Short-living fruit-tree, extensively cultivated throughout 

 Java and in waste places and light forests sometimes sub- 

 spontaneous. The large berries, which are comparatively 

 cheap, are often consumed by the natives. Before eating, 

 the fruit is cut into parts and the numerous seeds which 

 clothe the wall of the large central cavity are cast away. 



In 1906 Ernst and his companions found many apparently 

 spontaneously growing specimens on Verlaten Eiland near 

 the coast; in 1908 I myself found numerous specimens on 

 Lang Eiland and Verlaten Eiland likewise near the coast; 

 in 1919 specimens were collected on Krakatao in the Casua- 

 rina equisetifolia forest near the beach.
