80 GARU AND CHANDAN. 



A list of the known species of Aquilaria with their distri- 

 bution may be useful. 



A. a ff allodia Roxb. India — Eastern Himalayas from Bhutan to 

 Martaban. 



A. malaccensis Lam. A. ovata Cav. A. secundaria Dec. Malay 

 Peninsula from Penang to Singapore ; Bintang, Borneo, 

 Sumatra. 



A. microcarpa Baill. Borneo. 



A. opliispermmn Poir. A. chinense Spring. Ophispermum sinense 

 Lour. Cochin China. 



A . grandiflora Benth. Hongkong. 



A. hirta Ridl. Malay Peninsula, 



A. cumingiana Dec. Philippines.

 producing any incense wood, nor have I ever heard any native 

 name for it. 



Pahang Chandan.

Mr. W. D. Barnes, who made an interesting collection of 

 plants on Bukit K'luang Terbang in the Gunong Benom range in 

 Pahang last year, obtained among other specimens, flowers fruit 

 and leaves of a plant supplying Chandan. With them he sent a 

 portion of the stem of the tree. This plant proved not to be 

 an Aquilaria at all, but Wikstroemia Candolleana Meisn., a very 

 different looking plant but belonging to the same order Thymele- 

 aceo?, It is quite a small tree about 6 to 10 feet tall, with a
