Postscript (April 1878). 



Since the foregoing list was laid before the Society, Count 

 Sohlms Laubach has published ('Limuea' xlii. 1. February 1878) 

 his "Monographia Pandanacearum." In it he describes many 

 Eastern forms. I find that we differ in the identification of several 

 species ; but as a decision regarding them can only be arrived at 

 when more satisfactory materials are obtained, I shall not at 

 present criticise the memoir. 



I may note here, however, that six new species are described. 

 Of these, five I believe to be good ; but I see no necessity for 

 keeping up the sixth specific name. I append the names as a 

 supplement to my list. 



In the ' Botanical Magazine' for February 1878, under tab. 

 6347, Sir Joseph Hooker describes a new species, Pandanus tin- 

 guifer f from Northern Bengal. I have little doubt this is Pan- 

 danus minor, Wall. 



Pandanus Boivini, Sohlms Laub. in Linncea xlii. (1878) 26. 

 Hah. Madagascar. 



P. ceylanicus, Sohlms Laub. in Linncea xlii. (1878) 16. 



P. f meatus, Thw. En. PI. Zeyl. 327.' 

 llab. Cevlon. 

 I placed Thwaites's plant in my list doubtfully under P. furcatus, Roxb. 



P. Korthalsii, Sohlms Laub. in Linncea xlii. (1S78) 12. 

 Hah. Borneo. 



P. Kurzianus, Sohlms Laub. in Linnaca xlii. (1878) 4. 



I see no reason why this species should not be included under Pandanus 

 polycephalus. Lam. It is the type of Gaudichaud's Jeanneretia littoralis, 

 named by Kurz Pandanus littoralis ; and these names, if Sohlms Laubach's 

 identification be correct, will become synonyms of Pandanus polycephalus, 

 Lam.
