The well-known Kenanga of the Malays, is not wild in the 
peninsula, only occurring in gardens and orchards, where planted. 
It is readily known by its large flaccid fragrant flowers, at first 
green, gradually becoming yellow, and its dark green, eventually 
black, pulpy fruit with the black-pitted seed. 
Rumphius’ genus Cananga was pre-Linnean and thus is not retained, as 
Aublet unfortunately transferred this suitable name to a South American 
plant of a different genus.
