(a) Linfch. Of this Tree there are two forts : (a) The beft, called 
Li. c. 76. Calamba, and grows moft in Malacca and Sumatra. Much 
ufed in India for the making of Beads and Crucifixes. The 
wilder, called Palo DaguiUa, and grows mod in Seylon and 
Choromandel. With this, they burn the dead Bodies of 
their Bra??ie?ies and other men of account,m token of honor. 
(h) Notae in See hereof alfo Jac. Boutins, (b) 
Garfiam. A pi£cc of In j ian jff 0Q ^ ca lled GARON. Very oily 5 in 
colour, hardnefs and weight, like to Lignum Aloe. But 
being held a little to the fire, hath a ftrorig fragrant 
fcent, much like to that of Cloves : and feems therefore, 
as well as by its Name, to be the Wood of the Clove-Tree. 
CO Lib. 1. The Clove-Tree is defcribed by Linfchoten. (c) Shaped like 
a Bay-Tree. It grows in Amboyna and the Neighbour 
Iflands. The beft fort in Makidn and Tidor. 
The BARQUE of the Tree LAWANG. Sent from 
Java major, where it is fo called. Being well chewed, it 
hath the felf fame Taft with that of Safafras-Barquc, fo 
that, probably, the Tree is a Species of Safafras. 
Part of an Arm of the STINKING-TREE 5 as it may 
well be called : for it naturally (luells like the ftrongeft 
humane excrements, efpecially, as upon the emptying of 
a Houfe of Office. It grows in the Ifles of Solon and Timor, 
from whence Sir Philtberto Vernatti procur d it and fent it 
U) Phil, to this Mufdeum. (d) Where, though it hath now been 
ranf.N.tf. p YC { trV cd many years, yet feems to give as full and quick a 
fcent as ever. Yet in burning, it yields no fmell 3 as do 
Lignum Aloe and fome other Woods. J Tis ponderous, 
hard, and of the colour of Englijh-Odk 3 and as that, hath 
large Aer~Vej[els 3 yet but few. I (hould have conjedtur d, 
that this Wood belonged to the Tree called Ahovaj, which 
hath a ftinking fmell, but that this is faid to be the more 
odious when it burns. 
A piece of SERPENT- WOOD. Lignum Colubrinum. 
There are divers forts of Woods fo calfd. This here is 
different from all thofe Species defcribed by Garfias, and 
out of him by /. Bauhinw. Yet comes neareft to the 
Second. Tis above three inches in Diametre, the Barque 
thin, the Wood folid, more than that of Fear-Tree. Of a 
very bitter Taft 3 efpecially when reduced to powder. 
A piece of an other fort of SERPENT- WOOD. Within
