[100] Paho. A species of very small mango from one and one-half
to five centimeters in its longer diameter. It has a soft pit, and
exhales a strong pitchy odor.--_Rizal_.
[101] A Spanish word signifying a cryptogamous plant; perhaps referring
to some species of mushroom.
[102] In Tagal this is kasubha. It comes from the Sanskrit _kasumbha_,
or Malay _kasumba_ (Pardo de Tavera's _El Sanscrito en la lengua
tagalog_).--_Rizal_.
This plant is the safflower or bastard saffron (_Certhamus
tinctorius_); its flowers are used in making a red dye.
[103] Not a tree, but a climber. The plants are cultivated by
training them about some canes planted in the middle of certain
little channels which serve to convey irrigation to the plant twice
each day. A plantation of betel--or ikmo, as the Tagals call it--much
resembles a German hop-garden.
