148 Remarks on the species of Pandanus. [No. 3, 



Gaud., ex parte ; Hombronia, Gaud. ; Eudouxia, Gaud. ? ; Dorystigma, 

 Gaud. ?) 



11. P. LGram, Jones (non Kurz), P. Leram (3. niacrocarpa, 

 Kurz loc. c. 106. 



Pandanus Leram, as represented by Fontana in Asiatic Researches, 

 is my var. j3. macrocarpa of my supposed P. Leram. The same 

 variety agrees apparently very well with Eudouxia macrocarpa, Gaud., 

 loc. c, t. XVIII, and perhaps also with E. ? Delessertii, ejuscl. loc. c. f. 

 7-8, notwithstanding an apparent slight difference between the stigma- 

 ta. Both forms, P. Leram, Jones, and P. Andamanensium, as I now 

 shall call the form, described by me erroneously as P. Leram of 

 Jones, occur on the Andaman islands, but I only could obtain of the 

 former very old fruits, an account of which the recognition of the real 

 form of stigmata was very difficult. In the Bot. Gardens, Calcutta, 

 drupes of true P. Leram (coming from a plant in the gardens, said to 

 be introduced from the Nicobars) are preserved, but also in a state 

 unfit for a correct decision. The young plant (the old one having 

 been destroyed by the Cyclone in 1864,) would also differ from 

 P. Andamanensium, by the form of the leaves which are almost cuspi- 

 dato-acuminate, and not simply acuminate. This appears to be one 

 more reason for retaining the two forms as distinct species, until a re- 

 examination of more complete specimens may enable me to give a 

 more satisfactory explanation of the point in question. 



12. P. Andamanensmm, Kurz. P. Leram, Kurz loc. c. 

 105, excl. var. /?. (non Jones'). 



13. P. dubius, Spreng., Kurz loc. c. 127. 



Hombronia edulis, Gaud., loc. c. t. XXII, of 17, is not likely distinct 

 from P. dubius, and Barrotia tetrodon, Gaud., loc. c, t. XIII, f. 1 — 8, 

 has all the appearance of being only a young syncarpe of the same 

 plant. 



14. P. Kaida, Kurz. P. Candelabrum ? Kurz loc. c. 27, excl. 

 syn. omnibus, excepta citat Pheediana. 



15. P. Candelabrum, P. d. B., Fl. d'Oware I. 37, t. 21-22 ; 

 Kth. Exum. III. 97, (non Kurz) from "Western Africa. 



I have little doubt that Gaudichaud's Tucheya Candelabrum (loc. c. 

 t. XXVI, /. 10 — 12) represents the true P. Candelabrum, and have, 

 therefore, changed the specific name of the previous species which is 

 restricted to In da.
