lanceolate, straight, narrowed a little in its lowest part but, 
nevertheless, attached to the rachis by a broad base; it narrows 
also in its upper part, and has the upper margin prolonged into 
an acuminate straight point, whereas the lower margin, toward 
the apex, is marked by several narrow teeth, the upper teeth 
gradually surpassing in length those below; in the dry state 
the segment is concolorous on both surfaces, the lower surface 
is glabrous, but is covered (occasionally?) with small granu- 
lations pertaining to the parenchyma, which are wanting or 
are much less visible on the upper surface. The spadix is ap- 
parently large and has numerous slender, floriferous branches, 
about 30 cm long; the latter are strongly flattened and bear 
the fruits in two series, even on their lowest parts. Fruit ovoid- 
olivaeform or very slightly obovoid, apex round, slightly nar- 
rowed toward the base, 2 cm long, 12 cm thick; the pericarp 
contains a few slender fibers and has the appearance of having 
been rather fleshy at maturity. Seed oblong, rounded above, 
relatively small, 13 mm long, 8 to 9 mm thick; the embryo area 
slightly oblique; the vascular branches of the integument rather 
numerous, but slightly anastomising. Fruiting perianth rather 
deeply cupular-subcampanulate, broadening a little at the mouth, 
4 mm high and 6 mm broad.

This is related to Pinanga insignis, but is distinguishable by 
the fruiting perianth being slightly widened, not contracted, at 
the mouth and relatively very deep and nearly campanulate ; 
by the fresh mature fruit being pulpy and with few fibers; by 
the leaf-segments having the lower margin near the apex incised- 
toothed, the teeth looking like ascending steps (this character 
is probably present in some segments only).

A large palm with a relatively slender stem, 8 to 10 m high, 
10 to 12 em in diameter. Leaves large, the segments numerous, 
uniform, equidistant, 7 to 10 cm apart, of a not very rigid 
structure (perhaps rather herbaceous when fresh), glabrous, 
straight, lanceolate-ensiform, narrowed somewhat toward the 
base; the lower and intermediate segments very long-acuminate, 
usually 2-costulate, 1 to 1.2 m long, 8 to 10 cm wide, the upper
