Native name, Mupupu. Warburg suggests that Mann, 1861, collected at Ambas 
Bay, may belong to this species (see Solms-Laub. in Tinnea, xlii. 28, and Rendle 
in Journ. Bot. 1894, 322) ; also a male spike from the River Limbe in the Cameroons, 
Deistel, 108. 
14. P. Candelabrum, Beauv. Fl. Owar. i. 37, tt. 21-22. A

roots ; lower branches horizontal, upper erect. Leaves glaucous, wide, 
acuminate, with sharp spines on the midrib and margins. Male 
spadices oblong-cylindric, white, fragrant; spathes longer than the 
spadices, narrowed to an acute apex, spiny on the margins and back of 
the midrib. Stamens about 12, subumbellate. Female spadix sub- 
ovate. Spathes similar to those of the male, but much _ shorter.

A male inflorescenee from Ambas Bay (Mann, 780), probably belongs to this
