24 HISTORY OF SANTUBONG, SARAWAK. 
four species including the rare Quercus reflexa; a species of 
chestnut (Castanopsis sp.) called Berangan by Malays; a 
numberof Dipterocarps chiefly Shoreas (Hngkabang and Resaks 
of Malays) with also the bastard camphor tree (Dryobalanops,) 
the Kapur; a number of Sapotaceae including the gutta produc- 
ing trees Bainyin, Rian, Samalam and the Niatos (genera Pa- 
laquiumand Payena); an ebony, Kayu Malam (Diospyros sp.) ; 
at least one Renggas tree (Melonorrhoea sp.);a wild Nepheliwm 
(Mujon) several species of Saurauja; a Litsea and allied genera 
(Medangs); a nutmeg (Myristica sp.) called Cumpang ; two 
Garcinias known to Sea Dayaks as Sikup bunkang and Sumbat 
tebu; a Hugenia (Obah); two species of Canarium (Kambayau); 
atall Anonacea (Gontothalamus sp.) bearing large yellow banana- 
like fruits on the trunk; a Calophyllum (entanggor); a Hy- 
dnocarpus known as Nyalin; an Hlazocarpus ; a Pithecolobvum 
near Motleyana; several Ficus and a host of other trees which 
in the absence of fruits or flowers could not be identified. 
On the ground below at the base of the trees is a vege- 
tation scanty forthe most part,in which Dicotyledons are repre- 
sented by several Gesneracea including the beautiful blue flower- 
ed Didymocarpi (D. bullatus and rufescens) and one or two 
Cyrtandras: white flowered ubzaceae of the genera Argostemma, 
Hedyotis and Acranthera: Gomphia and Huthemis ; Labisia 
pothoina ; Antsophyllaea disticha: Sonerila and other Me- 
lastomaceae and one or two species of Piper. Of Monocotyle- 
dons we find some Aroids (Alocasia villeneuvit, Homalonema 
sagtttaefolia etc.) a few orchids (Hetaeria obliqua ete.) one or 
two species of Curculigo (Lembah) some Zingiberaceae (Horn- 
stedttas and Globbas); Forrestua margunata, some sedges, a 
grass, a few Pandamw and the Palmae. The palms are not 
nearly so conspicuous a feature of the vegetation as they are 
at mattang: the Hugezssona of Matang is not to be found on 
Santubong and no other large palm takes its place. This order 
of plants is represented by a tall Lzcwala called Nunong and 
smaller species of the same genus: some rattans (Daemonorops 
monticola ete.): a handsome Caryota (C. mitis) known as Modor: 
Plectocomia minor, the Tibu of Sea Dayaks: the ‘mountain 
Nibong’ or ‘Lemmakar’ (Oncosperma horrida) and in the -
