seashore in coral .sand. 
Pandanus coronatus is a very characteristic species because of the general 
aspect of the syncarp, which has a distinct internal line of demarcation where 
the phalanges separate and where those at the base of the prismatic portion are 
furnished witl» a distinct ring or crown, which is sometimes small, or is evident 
only at the corners of the phalanges, as in forni a. 
(7) Pandanus radicans Blanco Fl. Filip. (1837) 780; Elmer Leaflets Philip. 
Bot.,1 (1906) 74. 
Leytk, Palo, Elmer 7200, January, 1906, in small groups in alluvial overflows 
along rivers and in marshes where Galadium and other snbaquatic plants abound, 
I am following Mr. Elmer in referring the specimen mentioned abov^e to 
Pandanus radicans Blanco, althoxigh it is quite impossible to identify that species 
J>y the description alone. From the fact that Mr. Elmer collected his specimens 
ill the Island of Leyte, the same region from which Blanco received his Pandanus 
radicans and because of the correspondence in the vernacular name, no better 
means of determination being possible, we may conclude that Mr. Elmer has 
correctly identified this species.
