and scarcely sulcate between the loculi. In Pandanus philjppin- 
ensis the stigmas are distinctly oblique, while in the present 
species they are plane and not at all elongated, so that the two 
species scarcely belong in the same section of the genus. 
PANDANUS CAMARINENSIS sp. nov. 
Frutex erectus, circiter 2 m altus; foliis coriaceis, circiter 
2.4 m longis et 5.5 cm latis, margine perspicue armatis, sursum 
angustatis et tenuiter caudato-acuminatis; syncarpiis solitariis, 
erectis, oblongo-cylindraceis, circiter 30 cm longis et 13 cm dia- 
metro; drupis numerosis, obovoideis, circiter 5 cm longis et 2.5 
ad 3 cm diametro, angulatis, plerumque 7-locellatis, apice trun- 
catis, laevis, stigmatibus planis, haud productis. 
An erect shrub, about 2 m high, the leaves about 2.4 cm long 
and 3.5 cm wide, gradually narrowed upward to the slenderly 
caudate-acuminate apex, the margins armed with rather prom- 
-inent antrorse teeth. Syncarps solitary, erect, at maturity 
nearly enclosed by the leaflike bracts, oblong-cylindric, about 
30 cm long and 13 cm in diameter. Drupes numerous, obovoid, 
somewhat angled by mutual pressure, narrowed below, usually 
7-celled, about 5 cm long, 2.3 to 3 cm in diameter, the upper 
1 cm free, very slightly narrowed, the apex truncate, flat, smooth, 
about 2 cm in diameter. Stigmas usually 7, obscure, not at all 
projecting.

& Edano, December 21, 1918, in damp forests at low altitudes. 
This species is closely allied to Pandanus esculentus Martelli 
from which it is distinguished chiefly by its much larger, differ- 
ently shaped syncarps.
