11. Pi pa Jjfc fc. 
Eriobotrya japonica Lindl. 
12. Cieu ho Jf; Jf^ sen Goyava fructus. In provinciis austra- 
libus apud Sin as. 
The Chinese characters mean: stinking fruit. Indeed the scent of the 
fruit of Psidium Guyava L. when too ripe is unpleasantly powerful. 
According to Dr. Williams in Bridged. Chrest. 443 (18) the Chinese name 
of the Goava is lip; Ki shi huo, meaning: fowls dung -fruit. 
Under the latter name it is represented in the Chi ,wu tying etc. XXXI 49. 
13. Po lomie fH ^ sea Gi/ua ab Indis dictus fructus. 
Artocarpus integrifolia. L. Jack fruit, Compare above Martini ii. The 
Chinese name po lo mi, under which it is also represented in the Chi wu 
ming, XXXI 44. is apparently a transcription of the Sanscrit paramita 
(excellence).

Diospyros Xaki, L. v. supra Semedo 4. The Chinese name given by Boym 
properly denotes the dried fruit, for the second character means cake. 
15. Ya ta xu ^§f. Fructus ya ta in Indiis et popotis- 
simum agro Malacensi reperitur, qui Sinis olim tributum 
pendebat, ideoque sinicus fructus optime dici potest et quod 
etiam in sinense solum translatus uberrime germinet. Viridem 
corticem et piniferum habet, sed interius carnem liquidam 
nivis ad instar albam, sapore superat dulciai'iurn, quod Lusitani 
appellant mangiar reale. In multis Cellulis ossicula nigrd solida 
recludit. Alicabi Octobre et Novembre, alicubi Februario et

The drawing given by Boym of this fruit represents Anona spuamosa 
!*• By V a ta ( a to in the Southern dialect) the Singhalese name of it, 
being atta (Watson l.c.), is rendered. At Canton the Chinese call it fan 
li chi, foreign Li chi (Bridg. l.c. 443 (10).

Sinarum reperitur. Caro illius alba. Sicca caro fructus instar 
lactis coagulati in alias partes deportatur venalis, quae nucleum 
interius ad modum albuminis ovi cooperit. 
This is the famed Durian, Durio Zibethinus. L. a tree of the Indian 
Archipelago and Siam. I do not think that it is cultivated in Macao as 
Grosier (la Chine II. 539.) reports. It BeemB to me that Grosier, who
