e‘. Segments very numerous, unicostulate, very approximate by 
twos on each side of the rachis, ensiform, quite straight, 
very acuminate. Fruits ovoid, broad at the base and 
suddenly apiculate-mammillate, 20 by 12 mm. Seed ovoid, 
blunt; vascular branches of the integument simple on the 
raphal side, elsewhere rather closely anastomosing. Fruit- 
ing perianth broadening at the mouth 19. P. batanensis. 
e*. Segments elongate-lanceolate, 3-costulate, 1 meter long or more, 
spadix with slender, strongly flattened, pendulous branches. 
Fruit of medium size, 20 by 12 mm, slightly obovoid or 
ovoid-olivaeform ; pericarp somewhat fleshy, traversed by a 
few slender fibers. Seed relatively small, 13 by 8 to 9 mm. 
Fruiting perianth deeply cupular or subcampanulate, not 
contracted at the mouth, 4 mm high, 6 mm broad. 
20. P. bctsilanensis. 
e*. Segments equidistant, large, straight, 2- to 3-costulate, of a 
rather herbaceous texture, the basilar and the intermediate 
segments acuminate, the upper with as many not very deep 
incisions as there are costae, and with the resulting divisions 
shortly 2-toothed. Fruits small, 15 by 9 mm, obovoid, 
rounded above. Seed oblong, the embryo fovea very slightly 
oblique; vascular branches of the integument almost simple. 
21. P. speciosa. 
(P. Fruit 3-seriate. Segments ensiform, strongly bicostulate, the 
apex divided into two straight points. Fruits rather large, 
ovoid-ellipsoid, with a conical apex, 25 to 28 by 15 to 17 mm. 
Seed broadly ovoid, rounded above, the embryo fovea some- 
what oblique; vascular branches of the integument much 
branched and forming a network all around the seed. Fruit- 
ing perianth somewhat contracted at the mouth. 
22. P. sibuyanensis.

Palawan, along Ewiig River, Merrill 712 (sterile specimen). 
Of this fine small Pinanga I have seen only the sterile speci- 
men cited above. The leaves appear distinctly mottled even in 
the dry condition and have a petiole about 20 cm long ; the blade, 
30 cm long, has 9 or 10 main costae on each side of the rachis, 
tapers gradually to the base, and is divided down to its lower 
one-third into two lobes. 
Fertile specimens received from the botanic garden at Bui- 
tenzorg, Java, under the name of Pinanga maculata, do not seem 
to me to differ from P. disticha; they have the uniformly green 
blade parted only to the middle, and the petiole is shorter and 
thicker than in the Palawan plant. Probably the leaves of young
