Fig. 27 6 . Pandanus apicalis St. John, from holotype. a, Peduncle and base of syncarp, X 1; b, drupe, lateral 
view, X 1; c, drupe, longitudinal median section, X 1; d, drupe, apical view, X 1; e, drupe, lateral view, X 4; 
f, drupe, longitudinal median section, X 4; g, drupe, style, and stigma, apical view, X 4. 
apicalis has the drupes 29-31 mm long; pileus 
15 mm high, lanceoloid, sharply 5-6-angled; 
style 3-5 mm long; stigma 3-5 mm long; and 
the endocarp apex refuse. 
Up to now there is no evidence as to in what 
part of Borneo Mr. Motley found the specimen. 
He lived and worked on two sides of the island, 
and may well have travelled widely while there. 
He collected several other species of Pandanus 
in Borneo, one of which bears his name. The 
only other known collection was made by 
Brunig in the lowland forests near Kuching, 
Sarawak. 
The new epithet is the Latin adjective apicalis, 
apical, and is given with reference to the fact 
that the stigma extends to the apex of the style. 
Pandanus bracteosus sp. nov. (sect. 
Micro stigma')
