H. EDWIN BARNES. 



ON THE USES OF PANDANUS OR SCREW PALM, 



Taken from the Journals of the late Handley Sterndale, 

 with prefatory Remarks, 



By his Brother R. A. Sterndale, f.r.g.s., f.z.s., 



Read before the Society on the 7th of December 1885 on 

 production of specimens of the fruit by Mr. Framjee 

 N. Daver. 



The Keora or Pandanus Odoratissimus grows freely throughout India ; 

 whether this is identical with the Pandanus of the South Seas, I am 

 unable to state, hut it must be, from my brother's description, of a closely 

 allied species, and capable of utilization in the same degree. It is, however, 

 but little known in India for economic purposes, its sole recommendation 

 being its extremely fragrant flowers, which are used occasionally by 

 native ladies for adorning their hair.
