This species is indeed very nearly allied to P. labyriuthicm. The 
fruit lias much resemblance to a Pineapple. 
Sect. III. Microstigma. Drupce simplices ; stigmata sessilia v. subsessilia t 
reniformia, trigona v. subbiloba ; jilamenta connata ; antherce truncate 
{an in speciebus omnibus ?). 
8. P. gram'mifolius, Kurz. Folia l-l£-pedalia, 3-4-lin. lata, margi- 
nibus densius costaque subtus distanter spinulosa ; spinulae minutae, 
rectze ; syncarpia (adhuc nimis juvenilia) erecta, elliptica, spathis ob- 
longo-lanceolatis acuminatis spinulosis cincta ; ovaria stigmatibus sub- 
sessilibus trigonis terminata.

• The leaves have some resemblance to those of Freycinetia leucacantha, 
Miq. The specimens before me are not sufficient to draw up a more 
complete description.
