Order Clxix
ERIOCAULEE.
Pretty interesting little bog plants, found in all parts of the world. The order consists of Eriocaúlon only, many of whose species are easily cultivated, though seldom seen in gardens. The Eriocaúlon septanguláre, found in a lake in the Isle of Skye, is, perhaps, the rarest of European plants. They are not known to possess any medical virtues. 223 Eriocaúlon W.
ORDER CLXX.
PANDANEE.
With the habit of palms. and the inflorescence of Aroideæ, this fine order stands very distinctly separated from all others. The stem is an arborescent caudex, either growing to a considerable height, or weak, and lying on the ground. The leaves of some are formed into a coarse cordage; the flowers of P. odoratíssimus, and the fruit of some others, are eaten. All are tropical. 2004 Carludóvica Fl. per.
