GUTTA-PRODUCING TREES. 22 L 



The variety that seems to be most easily grown, is Pai/ena 

 Leerii (Getah Sundik). 



This tree fruits freely, and will thrive on the swampy plains 

 near the coast ; and is said by the Malays to grow fast. Its wood 

 is hard, with a close grain, and takes a good polish, therefore may 

 be of some value as timber. 



I have tried experiments in making cuttings of some of the 

 Dichopsis, but have not had any success as yet ; although it is 

 probable that they may be propagated by this means, when the 

 proper mode of effecting it is found out. 



I have not tried Payena Leerii as yet, but hope to be able to do 

 so very shortly.
