Comment 
EtymologyAndalas is the local common name of the tree Morus macrourus (family Moraceae) but is more frequently used for the region inhabited by this species. Andalas also is an ancient name used in the 13th Century for Sumatra, Indonesia, and is formed here as an invariable noun in apposition.
