4i 8 Sino-Iranica pao pen is'ao (written between a.d. 968 and 976), describes the kan-lan, goes on to say that "there is also another kind, known as Pose kan-lan similar to kan-lan in ('Persian kan-lan'), growing in Yun cou I 'M, 1 color and form, but different in that the kernel is divided into two sections; it contains a substance like honey, which is soaked in water and eaten." The San se lou li % mentions the plant as a product of Sah-se cou in Kwah-si. It would be rather tempting to regard this tree as the true olive, as tentatively proposed by Stuart; 3 but I am not ready to subscribe to this theory until it is proved by botanists that the olivetree really occurs in Kwah-si. Meanwhile it should be pointed out that weighty arguments militate against this supposition. First of all, the Pose kan-lan is a wild tree: not a word is said to the effect that it is cultivated, still less that it was introduced from Po-se. If it had been introduced from Persia, we should most assuredly find it as a cultivation; and if such an introduction had taken place, why should it be confined to a few localities of Kwah-si? Li Si-cen does not express an opinion on the question; he merely says that the Jan ~i) Ian, another variety of Canarium to be found in Kwah-si (unidentified), is a kind of Pose kan-lan, which proves distinctly that he regards the latter as a wild plant. The T'ang authors are silent as to the introduction of the olive; nevertheless, judging from the description in the Yu yan tsa tsu, it may be that the fruit was imported from Persia under the T'ang. Maybe the Pose kan-lan was so christened on account of a certain resemblance of its fruit to the olive; we do not know. There is one specific instance on record that the Po-se of Ma Ci applies to the Malayan Po-se (below, p. 483) ; this may even be the case here, but the connection escapes our knowledge. S. Julien 4 asserts that the Chinese author from whom he derives his information describes the olive-tree and its fruit, but adds that the use of it is much restricted. The Chinese name for the tree is not given. Finally, it should be pointed out that Ibn Batuta of the four- be made palatable. Its most important constituent is fat, which forms nearly onefourth of the total nutritive material. Cf. W. C. Blasdale, Description of Some Chinese Vegetable Food Materials, p. 43, with illustration (U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bull. No. 68, 1899). The genus Canarium comprises about eighty species in the tropical regions of the Old World, mostly in Asia (Engler, Pflanzenfamilien, Vol. Ill, pt. 4, p. 240). 1 Name under the T'ang dynasty of the present prefecture Nan-nih in Kwah-si Province. 2 Ch. 14, p. 7 b (see above, p. 409). 3 Chinese Materia Medica, p. 89. 4 Industries de l'empire chinois, p. 120.
teenth century positively The Olive 419 denies the occurrence of olives in China. 1 Of course, this Arabic traveller is not an authority on Chinese affairs: many of his data concerning China are out and out absurd. He may even not have visited China, as suggested by G. Ferrand; notwithstanding, he may be right in this particular point. Likewise the Arch- bishop of Soltania, who wrote about 1330, states, "There groweth not any oil olive in that country." 2 1 Yule, Cathay, Vol. IV, p. 118. 1 Ibid., Vol. Ill, p. 96.
