Hor Loh (Water Gourd Durian)/ W2 S, K0 D3 X, T
The flesh of the Hor Loh is very soft, dry and quite bitter. It has a sharp smell to it. Hor Loh was first cultivated at the Brown Estate of Sungai Ara. It got its name from its appearance resembling a 'Hor Lor' pumpkin. If the durian hits the ground hard when it falls, the flesh tends to be bitter thereafter.

Yah Kang (Centipede Durian)

The name 'yah kang' means centipede, and accounts for the number of centipedes found at the foot of the tree, hence giving it the rather unusual name. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& A0 Q6 [6 D# c
