Pandanus.'] CLXIV. PANDANBJS. (J. D. Hooker.) 487 



fruits 2 in. by 1 in. diam. ; drupes with conical crowns passing into an npcurved 

 subulate style. Fisquetia ovata, Gaud. Bot. fiunite Voy. t. 4, f. 1. Malacca, 

 Gaudichaud ; Keddah Peak, Lt.-Col. Low. 



12. P. POLYCEPHALUS, Lam. ; Wall. Cat. 8588 A ; leaves gradually finely 

 acuminate, margins with stout distant incurred marginal spines in one specimen, and 

 smaller closer ones in another, fruits spi^ate resembling those of P. fostidus, carpels 

 not in groups, but drupes with rather longer spinescent crowns. Burma, at Ainherst, 

 Wallich. Lamarck's description of P. polycephalus, founded, may apply to this. 



13. P. TURBINATTTS, Lodd. ex Steud. Nom. Ed. 2, ii. 251. " Ind. Or." Probably 

 an undescribed plant of Loddige's Catalogue. 



14. P. YVANI, Solms inLinncea, xlii. (1878) 20; leaves linear-lanceolate caudate- 

 acuminate more than 12 in. long serrulate, teeth pale, spathes concave elongate 

 ovate, fern. fl. minute densely crowded narrowed into a simple upcurved shining 

 spine. Malacca, Yvan (Herb. Delessert). The above characters (from Solms) are 

 worthless for the identification of a Pandanus. 



15. PANDANUS sp. ; dwarf, stem about as thick as a swan's quill, leaves 12-18 

 by 1- liy in. flat ensiform rather abruptly caudate acuminate finely spinulose-serrate 

 with erect spumles 1-nerved, fruit terminal solitary young globose f in. diam. drupes 

 not aggregate crown conical narrowed into a stout incnrved spine. Malacca, Griffith, 

 Kew Distrib. 6373. Apparently a very well marked species, closely resembling 

 ovatus in fruit, but with very different leaves, and which more resemble those of 

 P. minor. In the present chaotic condition of the genus I do not name it.

1. F. angustifolia, Blume Rumph. i. 159, t. 43 ; leaves linear 12-18

 racemose, fern, cylindric, filaments very short conic. Kunth Enum. iii.

 Malay Islds. 



Dioecious. Stems climbing, as thick as a goose quill. Leaves grass like, costa 

 very slender, nerves close set. Spadices 3-5, racemed on a short peduncle, males 

 ^-1 in. by -J--- \ in. diam., very dense-fid., fern, f-1 by - in. diam. ; staminodes 

 minute; stigmas 3-4; spathes ovate-lanceolate, finely acuminate. 



2. F. pycnophylla, Solms in Linnsea, xlii. (1878) 91 ; stem and leaves 

 as in F. angustifolia, spadices in sessile umbels, fern, oblong, filaments 

 elongate. F. angustifolia, Kurz in Seem. Journ. Bot. v. 134 in part. 



CEYLON, Walker, Thwaites (CP. 366). 



Very similar to F. angustijolia, but at once distinguished by the larger spathes, 

 oblong male and fern, spadices forming a sessile umbel or stout pedicel ^-f in. long, 

 and their greater size ; males ^-f by i in. diam., fern, ^-f by -f j in. diam. 



3. F. Walkeri, Solms in Linncea, xlii. (1878) 92 ; leaves elongate 

 linear-lanceolate finely acuminate margins spinulose towards the base 

 18-24 by ^~f in., spadices few in sessile umbels, fern, very stoutly pedicelled 

 oblong, anthers subsessile.
