Your Ref.6 in Agrlc.182/55* 
Sir, 
Thank you for the specimens of male flowers of 
"Pupor". I was very glad to have these because they 
satisfy me that "Pupor” is Baccaure a sapida . a well- 
known Indian fruit-tree, I am certain, too, that 
B.WrayjL should be reduced to B. sapida t which means 
therefore that B. sapida is a fairly common wild tree 
in Malaya and that "Pupor" is a cultivated form of it. 
mother tree which X found l^st year in the 
Kedah and Perlis villages, and which puzzles me, is 
the species of Garcinia known as "Kandis". I have not 
been able to identify it. It has round, riobed fruits 
like small specimens of "Assam Gelugor" (Q. atroviridis ), 
but it has small leaves. Though I enclose two leaves, 
I have no doubt that you know the tree that I mean. 
I should be most grateful if you could collect flowering 
specimens, perhaps of both male and female flowers 
which will be found on separate trees. I was told that 
the fruits ripen orange-coloured. Is that right 0 
I have the honour to be, 
Sir 
¥our obedient servant, 
t,\K.
