UPAS.
Strychnos tieuté.
Natural order
, Apocynaceæ.
Common name
, Ipo of Borneo (not of
Massachar, which is Upas antiar). [“Upas antiar” is Antiaris
toxicaria, of Java, a tree concerning which the most wonderful stories
have been told. The accounts of Fœrsch, translated from the Dutch and
published in the London Magazine, 1784, have been freely copied, but are
utterly untrue. An arrow poison of Java, the “Siren-boom,” is
prepared from the bark of this tree, which is very poisonous; we have,
however, no reliable accounts of its actions on men.]
