At first siglit this species seems to belong to the section Sussea, but a careful 
study of the disposition of the tocules as well as a section of the phalanges, 
leaves nie somewhat uncertain about this classification. Perluips it may be a 
type of a new section, but I require complete material and especially the male 
fiowers to allow nie to solve the question. All the species of »S'w.s.spf^ hitherto 
r 
known grow in Africa.

Mr. .Mt-rrill has already recognized the similarity between his I*(fndaiuifi Whit- 
fordii and J*andanu,s gracilis Blanco, and placed the former in the section Sussco, 
but it is better perhaps to ascribe it to Bryantia. 
(15) Pandanus paloensis Elmer, Leafl. Philip. Tiot. 1 (190r>) 75. 
Leyte, Palo, Ehiier TJ.j.f, January, 1900, very common in the shrubby forests 
of the low hills and in the Barringionia formation near the seashore and along 
the larger rivers. 
This species seems to me to be closely allied to Pandanus gracilis Blanco and 
perhaps not sufficiently distinct, or only a variety of Blanco's species. To de- 
termine its validity, well prepared and complete specimens are necessarj'.
