diagnosis OF HOLOTYPE: Apparently tree- 
like; branch 3 cm in diameter, brown, roughened 
by crowded leaf scars; leaves 81-90 cm long, 
3.5 cm wide, green above, below paler green 
and apparently glaucous, with a broad V-shaped 
furrow above the midrib, coriaceous, at mid- 
section with 38 secondary veins in each half, no 
visible tertiary cross veins, sword-shaped, taper- 
ing gradually to the 20 cm subulate, trigonous 
apex, this 10 cm down 2 mm wide, the base am- 
plexicaul, unarmed, but beginning 5 cm up the 
margins with prickles 3.5-5 mm long, 5-12 mm 
apart, arcuate subulate, fully ascending, brown- 
tipped; the midrib below beginning at 5 cm 
with prickles 2-3 mm long, 6-18 mm apart, 
similar but reflexed; at midsection the margins 
with prickles 2.8-3 mm long, 5-12 mm apart, 
subulate, flat appressed, ascending; the midrib 
below with prickles 0.8-1 mm long, 5-12 mm 
apart, subulate, ascending; on the subulate tip 
the margins and midrib below with subulate, 
appressed ascending prickles 0. 5-0.8 mm long, 
4-8 mm apart; pistillate inflorescence terminal, 
bearing one syncarp; peduncle 9 cm long, 8 mm 
in diameter, 3 -sided, leafy bracted; syncarp 8.8 
cm in diameter, globose, bearing about 26 pha- 
langes, these 3-6— 3-9 cm long, 2. 5-2.8 cm wide, 
2.2-2. 5 cm thick, short, thick pyriform, 6-angled, 
the sides plane or gently curved, smooth, shin- 
ing, when dried light brown, upper 2 A free, the 
apex low convex; lateral sutures none; central 
apical sinuses 2-3.5 mm deep, wide V-shaped, 
straight or gently curved; carpels 5-6, the apices 
with a rounded base and conic, angled, wrinkled 
tip, the central ones, when present, slightly 
the smaller; stigmas 2.5-3 mm long, cordate- 
orbicular to -elliptic, brown, papillose, prom- 
inent, oblique, centripetal; proximal sinus 
running l / 2 - 2 A way to valley bottom; endocarp' 
slightly inframedian, brown, bony, the lateral 
walls 1.5-2 mm thick, the inner surfaces pol- 
ished, dark brown; seeds 10-14 mm long; 3.5-4 
mm in diameter, ellipsoid or obliquely so; upper 
mesocarp forming in the apex of each carpel a 
cavern with a few fibers and with pale, medul- 
lary membranes; basal mesocarp fibrous and 
fleshy.

DISCUSSION: P. globosus is a member of the 
section Pandanus, as is its closest relative, the 
Vietnamese species P. subulatus St. John, a spe- 
cies which has the syncarp suborbicular-ellipsoid, 
10-10.5 cm in diameter; carpel apices pyramidal 
or oblate-pyramidal; stigmas 1.5-2 mm long, 
black; endocarp supramedian; the leaf apex at 
the point 10 cm down 3.5 mm wide; the mar- 
gins near the base with spines 5-6 mm long, 
ascending at 45°; P. globosus has the syncarp 
globose, 8.8 cm in diameter; carpel apices low 
convex; stigmas 2.5-3 mm long, brown; endo- 
carp inframedian; leaf apex at the point 10 cm 
down 2 mm wide; the margins near the base 
with prickles 3.5-5 mm long, fully ascending. 
The new epithet is the Latin adjective globo- 
sus , spherical, and is given in reference to the 
spherical head of fruits.
