PANDANUS GUAMENSIS Martelli 1. c. 16, t. 42, f. 4-6. 
McGregor 577, 580, 582, G. E. S. 40, locally known as akaom. 
This form was first indicated to me by Martelli as a variety of Pandanus 
tectorius Sol. It is, in all probability, the form credited to Guam by Safford 
(page 344) as Pandanus tectorius Parkinson. 
PANDANUS DUBIUS Spreng. Syst. 3 (1826) 897; Safford 343. 
McGregor 581, 583, locally known as pahong. 
Near the sea, Java to the Caroline and Marianne Islands southward to 
the New Hebrides. 
In addition to the above species, I have the following material, mostly 
leaf specimens, none of it in condition for determination: G. E. S. 68, 
cultivated, locally known as paingot; McGregor 547, a long-leaved sylvan 
species, leaves brittle; McGregor 578, locally known as agac, “its leaves 
distinguish it from the other species by having a glaucous bloom on both 
surfaces; the fiber plant here, said never to produce fruit” (McGregor) ; 
McGregor 579, in forests, Upi road, with very immature fruits. 
Pandanus fragrans Gaudich Bot. Freye. Voy. (1843) t. 22, f. 10, is 
enumerated by Martelli” as a distinct species. 
I suspect that it is the same as the species indicated by Martelli as 
Pandanus kafu, enumerated above. Gaudichaud’s material was from 
Guam. If Pandanus fragrans Gaudich, be considered a valid publication, 
then this name has priority and should be retained. 
FREYCINETIA Gaudichaud 
FREYCINETIA MARIANNENSIS sp. nov. § Oligostigma. 
Species F. maximae simillima et affinis, differt foliis breviori- 
bus angustioribusque, haud vel obscurissime reticulatis, supra 
sensim angustatis, haud abrupte acuminatis, denticulis minori- 
bus, fructibus brevioribus, circiter 1 cm longis. 
Apparently scandent, robust (stems not seen). Upper and 
inner leaves 25 to 35 cm long, 4.5 to 6 cm wide in the lower part, 
gradually narrowed upward to the slenderly acuminate apex, the 
longitudinal nerves distinct, close, the transverse reticulations 
none or obscure, the midrib on the lower surface and the margins 
finely sharply denticulate, the lower 3 to 4 cm of the leaf without 
teeth. Mature leaves not seen, apparently much longer then 
those described. Male inflorescence: Heads 3, cylindric, about 
5 em long, 1.3 cm in diameter, their peduncles 2 to 3 cm long. 
Female heads, in fruit, in threes, cylindric, 11 cm long, about 4 
cm in diameter, their peduncles stout, 5 cm long, about 8 mm in 
diameter, smooth. Fruits linear, 1 to 1.2 cm long, less than 2 
mm in diameter, very numerous, crowded, longitudinally sulcate- 
striate, somewhat contracted below the truncate apices, the stig- 
mas 2, rarely 3.
