. 294, 299). [240] These are: _alinau_ (_Grewia multiflora_ Juss.); _babaket_ (_Helicteres hirsuta_ Lour.); _laynai_--a large tree, unidentified; _lapnek_ (_Abroma_ sp.) _ka'a-ka'ag_, an unidentified shrub; _losoban_ (_grewia_); _pakak_, unidentified; _anabo_ (_Hibiscus pungens_ Roxb.); _bangal_ (_Sterculia foctida_ L.); _saloyot_ (_Corchoeus olitorius_ L.) _labtang_ (_Anamirta cocculus_); _atis_ (_Anona squamosa_ L.); _alagak_ (_anona_); _maling-kapas_ (_Ceiba pentandra_ Gaertn.); _betning_ and _daldalopang_, unidentified; _maguey_ (_Agave cantula_ Roxb.); _bayog_--a variety of bamboo. [241] It is not essential that the oil be applied, and oftentimes whole sections are colored before being split. [242] From _kawat_, the twisting of vines about a tree. [243] This is the Arnatto dye, an American plant. _Watt_, Dictionary, Vol. I, p. 454. [244] This tattooing is accomplished by mixing oil and the black soot from the bottom of a cooking pot, or the pulverized ashes of blue cloth. The paste is spread over the place to be treated, and is driven in with an instrument consisting of three or four needles set in a piece of bamboo. Sometimes the piercing of the skin is done before the color is applied; the latter is then rubbed in. [245] Blackening of the teeth was practised by the Zambal, also in Sumatra and Japan. _Blair_ and _Robertson_, Vol. XVI, p. 78; _Marsden_, History of Sumatra, P. 53.
