The male organs appear to me to be of much higher value in grouping the 

 species of Pandanus, but the time has not yet arrived when these organs 

 shall be available of all or even of most of the species. Pandanus helicopus 

 was correctly j)laced by me in the section PycJcia, as I find on re-examina- 

 tion of my material, and I have also since obtained the male spadices of it, 

 which shew racemose anthers. 



448. Feeyclnetia insignts, Bl. — In the tropical forests of Katchall 

 and Kamorta (also Andamans) . 



449. FBEYcnraiTiA scajstdens, Gaud. ? — Common in the tropical and 

 coral-reef -forests of Katchall and Kamorta ; Pulu Milu (Novara 39 ; Jeli- 

 nek 197 — -j'i, inc.). It is very doubtful whether this is really the same as 

 Gaudichaud's plant, and it is possible that it may be only the young state 

 of the preceding species, although I met with no intermediate states. 



AROIDEA1. 



450. Hojialonema aeomaticum, Schott. — Common in the tropical 

 forests of Kamorta ; Pulu Milu (Novara 34 ; Jelinek 201 — lamany, inc.). 



451. Cham^cladok ovatttm, Schott ? — Great Nicobar (Novara 33 ; 

 Jelinek 280). — Schott's description agrees with the Nicobar plant except 

 in some minor points. I have seen no authentic specimens of the Singa- 

 pore plant. 



452. Agiaonema simplex, Bl. — Not unfrequent in the coral-reef- 

 and tropical forests of Katchall and Kamorta ; Pulu Milu (Novara 32 ; 

 Jelinek 196 — laJcoa, inc.). 



N. B. Aglaonema palustris, T. et B. in Tydsch. Nat. Ver. Ned. Ind.

453. Colocasia vieosa, Kth. — Very plentiful, in company with 

 Nephrodium propinquum, along a swampy rivulet on the grass-heaths of 

 Kamorta.

 the Nicobarese. 



455. Pothos scakdens, L. — Common in all forests of all the islands ; 

 Great Nicobar (Novara 37 & 38 ; Jelinek 233 — tamab, inc.). 



456. Scltstdapsus pteeopodus, T. et B. in Nat. Tydsch. Ned. Ind.
