the middle pink, £ inch long, lobes linear oblong blunt white 
obscurely ciliate a little longer lobes. Stamens 5 adnate to the 
corolla tube in its widest part anthers ovate conic, obtuse, fila- 
ment very short thickened and orange coloured at the back of the 
anther. Style short green, stigma conic. Fruit large oblong or 
pear-shaped, 4 inches long, dull green or orange when quite ripe. 
Common in Forests, Singapore, Malacca, Penang and Perak. 
Natives names, Getah Gaharu, Getah Ujol, Jela Puchong Kapor. 
One of the commonest species and very variable in size of the 
leaves, but easily recognized by their very thick stiff texture and 
few nerves. The rubber is of an inferior quality, however, and 
seems to be chiefly used for birdlime by the Malays, who also eat 
the fruit as they do of most species. 
W. fiavescens , Dyer. — Stem stout, 4 inches through, with rough 
black bark not warted as in W. firma, with broad distant rings 
elevated and knotty. Bark thick, light fawn colour in section, 
not red. Leaves dark shining green, elliptic to oblong, or nearly 
lanceolate, cuspidate with a blunt point, 3 — 4^ inches long, 1 inch 
to i| inch wide, nerves slender, about 20 pairs of primary ones, 
petiole thick, rugose half an inch long. Leaves often covered 
with small conical galls. Flowers in rather lax short panicles, 
few branched with a peduncle about £ inch long, pale yellow, 
pedicels £ inch in length. Calyx lobes very short, ovate, round- 
ed ciliate. Corolla £ inch long, tube swollen, lobes recurved, 
yellowish. 
Fruit globular, about 2 inches long, orange yellow, seeds usu- 
ally few. Dense Woods, Singapore, Malacca. 
“Akar Sa’gran.” The latex is somewhat slimy, and of in- 
ferior quality. Mr. Murton, however, sent specimens of its rub- 
ber to Kew in 1880, of which Messrs. Silver reported, ‘ ‘the qua- 
lity is very fair, and it would be useful in our manufacture. The 
present value (1879) about is. 3 d. per lb. (Morris Cantor 
Lecture, p. 43.)” 
W. tenuifiora , Dyer. — A stout climber with much of the habit of 
W, firma, with oblong cuspidate dark green leaves with about 
25 pairs of straight parallel nerves, prominent on both sides when 
dry, texture rather coriaceous, not so stiff as fiavescens. Flowers 
in short axillary panicles, compact. Calyx lobes rather larger 
than in most species rounded. Corolla £ inch long, slender, 
lobes linear, oblong, longer than the tube, which is dilated at the 
base. Anthers narrow acuminate. Fruit very large, ovoid, 6 
inches long and 4 inches through, light green, with compara*- 
tively few seeds. Seeds oblong, red inside. 
“Getah Ujol.” Woods in Singapore, Malacca, Selangor, 
Penang. 
The latex from this plant is to be mixed with that of Getah 
grip, i.e. W. firma , in the proportion of one-third according to 
native statements. Mr. Derry, however, sent a specimen from 
Malacca labelled “Getah grip” true. It is not a very common 
plant, but is easily known by the numerous close veins of the 
leaf, slender long flowers and very large fruits.
