Whilst on the subject of scent, I might mention that in these forests I would often come across a good-sized tree which was called Ilang-ilang.

Surrounded by a cactus-covered wall it seemed to beckon to him with its open windows, while the ilang-ilang waved its flower-laden branches joyfully and the doves circled about the conical roof of their cote in the middle of the garden.

The girls all received in addition rosaries of sampaguitas, intertwined with roses and ilang-ilang blossoms, to perfume their flowing tresses.

The tree, of which the flowers yield the oil known under the name "Ilang-ilang" or "Alanguilan," is the _Cananga odorata_, Hook.

The unjustifiable name _Unona odoratissima_, which incorrectly enough has passed into many writings, originated with Blanco,[2] who in his description of the powerful fragrance of the flowers, which in a closed sleeping room produces headache, was induced to use the superlative "odoratissima." Baillon[3] designated as Canangium the section of the genus _Uvaria_, from which he would not separate the Ilang-ilang tree.
