| Notes: | Label source: This bark I bought at a ..?.. Shop they could tell me nothing about it, expect that it was used to scent or flavour medicines No 452 Mus Cat 1878 Opuscular source: The Kulil lawang of commerce is the aromatic bark of a wild species of cinn, amon and is produced in abundance in all parts of Island; it is the true cinnamon Kulil lawang but I think that other varieties are also found. It was probably this plant which induced the earlier voyagers to imagine that the true cinnamon of Ceylon which, this much resembles was found in the archipelago the bark is well known for its clove like aromatic flavour and for the essential oil it produces which however, is never extracted by the natives of Borneo.
