Tills i& tho Eranji of the Malaya in Java according to BontiuB, RumpliiHB, 
Miquel and Koordors, Mr- Uicllcy's gpeoimens have Jio niitive ii:ime »jsd as there 
is no iudioatioii that they arti fr<im a jUtrntiad tree it tnay ho rcaaoriably Bnppoaed 
that th& tipeciea is indigenoiia in Paljang. The spsicimena Bstit by Mr. Curtis are 
noted as being from Ayer Etam in Miller's oompfJUTid ; " this remark, taken in 
conjunction with the fact that two native nftines '* Krtmjt boroo^ or Eranji jpadie 
we givefj as alterntitiFea, seems to poioi: to the Bpeeiea being an Introducedl one in 
Peruing. The name Eranji horo»g m BonietinieB upjtlieJ in Malacca to the tjuite dia- 
Bimilav ypecies D. platysepalum, 
Tbe fruits are eatau for the sake of the pnlp that forma the endocarp of the 
pod. In the litdian Forester for October 1896, it is otated that Eranji ib oue of the 
valoablo timbers of the Straits Settlements. The scientitio name cited in the 
notice is D. iniUcum ; there is no ipecies of that najtie, Pf rhaps the present BpecieB 
ia intended ; there ib however nothing to show whether the tree referred to be this 
or some of the other a poo tea of Diedium.
