Javan tree of the mulberry family (4)

I believe the answer is:

upas

(Other definitions for upas that I've seen before include "Sap used to poison arrows" , "A poisoner" , "Tree yielding poisonous sap" , "Java tree providing arrow poison" , "Antiar tree of Java" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
