PlIlLIPriXE SPKCIES OF PANOAKrS. G5 
The difTereiiees between this form and tlio type are to be found in tlio plialanfrefi. 
which are lon^^er, flatter, and sunietinies more swoll^-ii in the iniddle. The top of 
the phnhinges is quite level and with a rather rounded margin. The nmnber of 
the pyramidal locule^ i*^ variable: in the specimens collected hy Mr. Bolster the 
furrows between the locules are not so deep as in the type. Tn forma Ahernianua 
the plialanges in the syncar]) are free one from another in their upper half or a 
little leas than half. The leaves do not seem to l)e difTerent from those of the 
type.

alK>ve 850 m alt., at the head of the Lamao Kivcr. 
This species is easily distinguishable from Pandanus tccfonus Sol., and 
Pandanus exaltatus Blanco, by the form of the phalanges which have their upper 
half free and very divaricate, by the small but deep locules, and even by some 
characteristics of the leaves. It seems to me that the figures representing the 
syncarp, the separate phalanges and section, in Vidal "Flora Forestal de F.lipi- 
nas" tab 9r^, fiif. A (under Pandanus odorafl'^sinuis), belong to this new species. 
It is true that'the leaves are represented as very .mall and quite different from 
those of the species here described, but the plate seems to me not to have been 
drawn very scientifically and therefore it is easy to account for the want of propor- 
tion in the leaves. It is to be regretted that the figures in the ''Flora torestal 
are not accompanied by a description of the plant. 1 have named this Pandanus 
in memory of the clever botanist Senor Sebastian Vidal, who died prematurely 
after having contributed much to our knowledge of the Philippine Flora.
