PINACEiE. A name adopted by Lindley 

 for the CoxiFEHiB : which see. 



PINA-CLOTH. The pineapple cloth of 

 the Philippine Islands. 



PINANG. A Malay name for the Betel- 

 nut palm, Areca Catechu. 



PINANGA. A genus originally founded 

 upon species previously referred to Areca, 

 hut Dr. Martius, whose work on the order 

 of palms is so justly celebrated, afterwards 

 combined it with and made it a section of 

 Seaforthia, which is synonymous with 

 Ptychosperma of other authors, so that 

 some species have at one time or other 

 gone under four distinct generic names. 

 All the species belong to the islands of the 

 Malayan Archipelago, and are usually low 

 slender-stemmed palms, with smooth un- 

 armed ringed stems, and terminal pin- 

 nate leaves. Regarded as forming a sec- 

 tion of Seaforthia, they are characterised 



by the flower-spikes having in most in- 

 stances only one spathe, the flowers being 

 disposed in straight lines, in whorls, or in 

 spirals composed of few turns, by the male 

 flowers having their sepals connected at 

 the base and scarcely overlapping, and con- 

 taining a short rudimentary pistil or none 

 at all, and by the albumen of the seeds 

 being marked like a nutmeg. [A. S.J 



PINASSE. (Fr.) Pinus sylvestris. 



PINASTER. Pinus Pinaster. 



PINATHA. A kind of Jackwood, or 

 probably a Laurus, obtained in Burmah. 



PINCENECTITIA. A name under which 

 some plants allied to Cordyline and Basyli- 

 rion have been sent out by Belgian horticul- 

 turists. It is supposed to have arisen from 

 the blunders of ignorant gardeners, who 

 mistook the plant for a Freycinetia, but 

 wrote the name so badly that it was read 

 as above. The species with two others have 

 been recently described by Lemaire as a 

 genus of Liliacece of the tribe Asparaginece, 

 under the name of Beaucarnea : which 

 see. The B. recurvata, the only one that has 

 flowered, produced a panicle a yard long 

 and a yard and a half in circumference, 

 crowded with thousands of small white 

 slightly scented flowers. By further blun- 

 ders it has been spelt Pincinectia and Pin- 

 cecnitia. 



PINCKNEYA. A genus of small trees, 

 natives of the Southern States of North 

 America, and belonging to the Cincho- 

 nacece. The flowers are in tufts in the 

 axils of the uppermost leaves. One of the 

 five lobes of the calyx is usually expanded 

 in the form of a coloured leaf ; the corolla 

 is funnel-shaped, with a five-cleft spreading 

 limb, beyond which the five stamens pro- 

 ject ; style simple ; stigma somewhat two- 

 lobed; fruit capsular, the upper portion 

 free from the calyx, dividing into two 

 valves when ripe. - P. pulens is grown in 

 this country in sheltered situations. Its 

 red downy flowers, and large downy ovate 

 leaves, render it a handsome plant for a 

 south wall. [M. T. M.] 



PINDAIBA. A Brazilian name for the 

 highly aromatic fruit of Xylopia sericea. 



PINDALS, PINDARS. American and 

 West Indian names for the Ground Nut, 

 Arachis hypogcea.
