P. sp. Stem stout, eventually about 10 or 12 feet tall, but more 

 commonly a low branching plant. Leaves 30 inches long, 2 inches 

 wide, glaucous beneath, light above, linear acute, thornless except for a 

 few minute thorns at the tip. 



" Pandan Jelinkeh," " Pandan Wangi." This is commonly culti- 

 vated round villages, for the scented leaves, which, boiled with rice, 

 impart an aromatic taste to it. It is also cut up very fine and mixed 

 with sandal wood and rose water to make a scented kind of potpourri 

 (Gunga Rampeh) distributed at Malay weddings. I cannot find that 

 this has been described anywhere, nor have I ever seen flowers, or met 

 anyone who has seen flowers or fruit of it. 



P. sp. Epipytic forming large tufts very high up in lofty trees, 

 leaves narrow. Common in Johor and Perak, but I have never seen 

 a trace of inflorescence. 



Doubtful Species. 



P. yvanii, Solms-Laub. Linnaea XLII. 20. Malacca (Yvan), the 

 description is much too meagre to make it possible to identify this. It 

 is possibly P. militaris, Gaud, or P. aurantiaca, Ridl., or P. Bidlcyi 

 Mart.
