 offsets from the roots, or by seeds, from which 

 the new varieties are obtained. The bulbs of

PandanAce.3:, or Screw-pines, are a group of 

 plants nearly resembling palms. They very 

 often send down aerial roots, which descend 

 until they reach the ground. Some species 

 bear eatable seeds, and others are useful in 

 medicine. 



PandAnus, Linn. From pandang, a word in 

 the Malay language, signifying conspicuous. 

 Linn. 22, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Pandanaceos. This 

 stately, fine-looking genus has received the 

 English name, Screw-pine, on account of the 



' appearance of the plants ; they thrive in a 

 light loamy soil. Some of the species produce 

 suckers, by which they may be increased,

 mmaeece. A useful genus of grasses. P. mili- 

 aeeum is frequently sown for feeding poultry, 

 and is sometimes used as a substitute for rice. 

 P. arboriscens is said by Linnaeus to equal in 

 height the loftiest trees in the East Indies, 

 though the culm is little thicker than a goose's 

 quill ; it grows in the woods and jungles. In 

 cultivation, the species grow in any common 

 soil, and are increased by dividing the roots, 

 or by seeds. See Arundinaria, Opnodon, Echi- 

 ndchloa, Pennisetum, Tricholcena.
