216 GUTTA-PRODTJCING TREES. 



Get ah . Di chop sis . 



This is very much like the foregoing, but the leaves are of a 

 lighter green, and are not so much coated with hairs ; the bark 

 is smooth. 



I have not yet seen the flowers, but the fruit is green, smooth, 

 devoid of hairs, and ripens in August. I found it growing near 

 the Tab cm Sutra. 



Its gutta is slow in coagulating and softens at a lower tempera- 

 ture than the last named variety ; and it becomes rather sticky 

 when heated, and remains so for some time after it has cooled. 



Getah . Dichopsis . 



This tree has large, glossy, dark-green leaves, the backs of which 

 are coated with rich warm chocolate-brown hairs, more densely on 

 the veins than elsewhere, and the midrib is coated, in a similar man- 

 ner, on the top surface of the leaf, for about two-thirds of its 

 length. 



The bark is very rugged and greyish-brown in colour, containing 

 so little gutta that it is not worth collecting. I have found it 

 growing on hills, about 800 feet high ; but, as yet have not been 

 able to procure flowers, or fruit, 



Getah Taban . Dichopsis . 



Trees of this variety are said to be growing on the G-unong 

 Mini range, near Kuala Kangsa, to have small leaves, and to 

 yield gutta of good quality ; but I have not yet fallen in with it, 

 nor have I had an opportunity as yet of collecting any specimens 

 of it. 



Getah Sundik. Paijena Leerii. 



This variety grows in swampy places near the coast, and I found 

 one tree with its roots in a small creek, the water of which was 

 quite salt, and only a short distance from the regular Mangrove
