vision surpassing the others; lateral pinnules of the secondary 
divisions obliquely obovate, the inner portions of the two blades 
almost covering the small central pinnule, which is deflexed, and 
in some instances is scarcely more than rudimentary; outside 
aaa deeply and irregularly incised, spinose-toothed. Brazil, 
P. nitidum (shining). /. deep green, roundish-obovate, appressed

PANCRATIUM. To the species described on p. 15, 
Vol. III., the following should now be added: 
P. caribzeum (Caribbean). (/. pure white, fragrant, six to 
twelve in a sessile umbel ; perianth tube 2in. to din. long ; seg-

narrow, drooping, curled and twisted ; corona trumpet-shaped ; 
filaments green; anthers yellow; scape erect. British Guiana,

on each side ; scape shorter than the leaves. Summer. J. broad, 
linear, acuminate. 1885. Greenhouse. 
PANDANOPHYLLUM. Included under Mapania 
(which see). 
PANDANUS. Including Barrotia. To the species 
described on pp. 16-18, Vol. III., the following should now 
be added: 
P. Augustianus (Auguste’s). This is closely related to 
P. Kerchovei. The leaves are larger and more densely serrated, 
the nerves being green and denticulated, and the stem is 
broader. Papua, 1886. (I. H. 1886, 612.) 
P. Grusonianus (Gruson’s). /, numerous, very narrowly linear- 
lanceolate, densely serrated from base to apex, the teeth brilliant 
red, acute, the midrib keeled below and_ slenderly spicate. 
Stem short. Amirantes Islands, 1887. (I. H. ser. vy. 12.) Syn. 
Barrotia Grusoniana. 
P. Kerchovei (Comte de Kerchove’s). /. very narrow, attenuated 
and acute at apex, densely toothed, the middle nerve keeled 
below, the lateral ones numerous, one or two of the primary ones 
keeled above, confluent towards the apex; teeth greyish-white. 
Stem short, attenuated. Amirantes Islands, 1886. (I. H. 
1886, 600.) 
PANICUM. To the species described on pp. 18-19, 
Vol. III., the following variety should now be added: 
P. italicum japonicum (Japanese). A form of the common 
Millet, with pendulous inflorescences, cultivated in Turkestan. 
It is probably native throughout Eastern and Southern Asia. 
h. lift. (R. G. 1887, p. 278, f. 72.) 
PANSY. This has always been a favourite, not only 
on account of the rich, brilliant, and varied colours, beau- 
tifully contrasted with the softer shades, pale blue and 
violet, but also for the sweet and very delicate perfume, 
and because plants may be obtained in blossom during 
every month in the year without forcing, but with the aid 
of a garden frame during the time of frost and snow. No 
plant sooner exhausts itself by blossoming; and as soon 
as the flowers show evident signs of inferiority, the old 
plants must be renovated by a rich surface-dressing, and 
a succession of young ones must be maintained. The 
recently-introduced varieties are all worthy of careful 
culture. A few of the best are here given: 
P. bracteatum przcox (early).
