A BOTANICAL EXCURSION TO PULAU ADANG, 49 
our coasts. Cordia subcordata too is scarce occurring in Pulau 
Song-Song, the Dindings and from Bintang island to the Pacific. 
All these seem absent or nearly so from the west coast of the 
Peninsula, although there are at least some suitable spots for them 
to grow, and quite absent from the east coast where the locality is 
more suitable, yet all occur in the Indian region and still more 
abundantly all over the Malay Archipelago to the Pacific.
