Botany. Frtycinetia Banksii. Vertical section of a group of stamens enclosing tlie abortive pistil. Freycinetia imbricata. Transverse section of fruit (mag.). F. Banksii. Ovary accompanied by sterile stamens. Freycinetia. Seed, entire and cut vertically (mag.). Stem often rooting or sarmentose, rarely arborescent, witli the habit of Pandanus. Leaves narrow, sheathing, amplexicaul below, with parallel nerves, denticulate or sub-spinous on their edge and dorsal face, equitant in aestivation. Infloeescence terminal, rarely lateral; spathes usually yellow or red. Spadix polygamo-dicecious, simple, entirely covered with naked flowers.—rLOWEKS ^ in a tuft, often grouped around an abortive ovary. Stamens oo ; filaments filiform, isolated or in groups of 2-3 ; anthers —Flowees ?: Ovaeies numerous, 1-celled, many-ovuled, accompanied at the base with sterile stamens, which are isolated or agglomerated in bundles of 3-4-oo ; stigmas sessile, distinct; ovules anatropous, ascending, 2-seriate on 3 parietal placentas, linear, alternating with the stigmas. Beeeies aggregated, 1-celled, several-seeded. Seeds minute, sunk in a colourless pulp, erect on short funicles; testa membranous, smooth or striate; raphe lateral, more or less developed, and strophiolate; albumen fleshy, dense. Embeto minute, straight; radicle near the hilum, and inferior. ONLY GENUS. Freycinetia. Freyctnetiece are distinguished from Pandaneee by their ovaries wi
