Abstract
There is room for considerable difference of opinion as to the limit of the order Pandaneœ or “Screw-pines.” However extended it is made there can be no doubt that Nipa has closer affinities with the palms than with the screw-pines. I shall therefore exclude the remarkable fruits from the Lower Eocene of Sheppy to which Brongniart applied the name Pandanocarpum, altered afterwards by Bowerbank in accordance with the more precise determination of the affinities of the fruits to Nipadites, a change in which Brongniart aequiesced.Keywords
