referred to it quite different plants, causing great confusion, to dispel wliicli it 
is necessary to have a full series of specimens, and to make a general study of 
the entire group. 
I have in my herbarium many specimens of the true Pandanus polycephalus 
Lam., collected in Amboina, Cerani, Timor, etc., and some others from the 
Botanical Gardens at Buiten/org and Singapore, kindly sent to me by Br. Treub 
and Mr. Ridley; but the typical form has not yet been found in the Philippines, 
where, however, some species allied to it have been discovered. 
§ CRTSTATA Martelli. 
(20) Pandanus Cumingianus Martelli sp. nov. 
Eaceiiius densus, 25 cm circiter longus, spatliis loiigo aciiniinatis ut 
in Pandano pohjccplialo Lam. involucratus. Syncarpia confertaj scs- 
silia, parva, duni fere matura, 2.5 cm lata, 2-3 em longa, ovato-subglo- 
bosa, trigoiia, faciobus subplanis; drupis confertis, uniloculaiibus, 7 mm 
longis, 3—1 mm latis, basi snbcuneatis, peiitagouis vel hexagonis^ apice 
rotundato-anguloso, abrupte in stylum brevem proniinentcin, eccentricmii, 
transverse evohitum, contractis. Stigmate latiusculo, cristate. 
Negkos, in the mountains, Cuming s. n. (in Herb. Mus. Brit.). ^ 
This species is represented in the collections of the British Museum by two 
racemes only, of which Dr. Rendle kindly sent me a photograph. The syncurps 
unfortunately exhibit the drupes not quite mature, but 1 think this circumstance 
cannot affect their general aspect, except perhaps, only slightly the size of the 
drupes. Tlie entire raceme, as regards its structure, appears like that of Panda- 
nus polycephalus Lam., but the characteristic shape of the stigmatiferous part, 
and al>fo the stigma itself, are so peculiar as to suggest for this species a 
provisional section to be called "Oristata"
