5. P. Hahnii, Ward. in Engl. Pfanzenr. Pandan. 56. Drupe 
6-12-celled, 2 in. long, 19-24 lin. in diam., slightly compressed, flat 
and scarcely sulcate at the apex, shortly pyramidal below the apex, 
scarcely narrowed to the broadly truncate base, 4—7 lin. broad at the 
flat apex ; stigmas sessile, flat, reniform, 1 lin. long; endocarp thick, 
bony, in the centre of the drupe; mesocarp spongy and containing 
fibres. 
“East African Islands ; cultivated in Martinique, Hahn.” 
The indefinite locality renders it doubtful whether this is a member of the 
Tropical African flora.

almost sessile, ovate, 4-47 in. long, 3}-4 in. in diam. Drupes 70-90 in 
each syncarp, 2—5-celled, 18 lin. long, 9-12 lin. in diam., scarcely com- 
pressed, convex at the apex, slightly ribbed, narrowly pyramidal at the 
base ; areole at the apex flat, angular, 2-3 lin. in diam. ; stigmas sessile, 
reniform, 1 lin. or less in diam. ; endocarp bony, large, in the centre of
