Quar (Forest)
The name has not yet been signed in on the Section Card 1890 of Knysna, but on younger cards, in many details on S.a. series 1975 scale 1:60 000 sheet 3323 CC cross valley. This is the only place name in our returns in which this tree name is included as ingredient. The quarter tree is the Canthium Obovatum (Smith 1966 CNSAP 317), of which the native name is the 'hybridolinewood', cf. Smith 606, but what S.V. Baster Olienhout hereby gives another botanical name.

Survey 1960 'Quar Forest. Name of long standing for a forest 4 miles [6 km] north east of Knysna. Probably Hottentot. It is a private forest ‘Parks & Sons’. Quar is the common name of a timber tree, Plectronia obovata. The Quar Forest, also sometimes called Park's Forest, is well known in the Knysna district. It covers a large area. The Afrikaans version of the name of the tree is ‘kwar’, with no difference in the pronunciation. I have never seen the version ‘Kwarbos’ written. I know the area. PC Grobler'.

Die naam is nog nie ingeteken op die Afdelingskaart 1890 van Knysna nie, maar wel op jonger kaarte, in heelwat besonderhede op S.A.-reeks 1975 skaal 1:60 000 vel 3323 CC Kruisvallei. Dit is die enigste pleknaam in ons opgawes waarin hierdie boomnaam as bestanddeel opgeneem is. Die kwar- boom is die Canthium obovatum (Smith 1966 CNSAP 317), waarvan die volksnaam die 'basterolienhout' is, vgl. Smith 606, maar WAT s.v. baster- olienhout gee hierby ’n ander botaniese naam.
