DÎTRIO, Linn. Duryon, in the Malay Language,
is the name of the fruit. Linn. 18, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Stercidiàceoe. This tree thrives well in a
rich loamy soil ; and cuttings, not too ripe,
taken off at a joint, with their leaves entire,
will root in sand, under a glass, in a moist
heat. The fruit of this tree is about the size
of a man's head, and is said to be the most delicious
of all the fruits of India. The axil-like
substance, which contains the kernel, is the
eatable part of it, and most resembles cream ;
yet it is accompanied by such an intolerable
stench, that, according to Kumphius and Yalentyn,
it is, by law, forbidden to throw them
out, near any public path, in Amboyna. The
smell is said to be similar to that of some
putrid animal substances ; yet all agree, that
if the ñrst repugnance is once overcome, no
fruit is more agreeable than the durion. The
fruit is also used as a bait to entrap the civetcat
; hence the specific name,
