(?) from Kamrup district, Assam To: eFloraofIndia <[email protected]> Dear All I want to inform you the latest data available on *Occurrence of Species Under Pandanaceae in Assam* According to '*Flowering plants of India –An Annotated Checklist (Monocotyledon)',* BSI *[Mao and Dash 2020]*the distribution of species under family Pandanaceae in Assam are *Pandanus assamensis, P. diversus, P. furcatus, P. martinianus, P. unguifer.* On the other hand *Assam’s flora* (*Chowdury 2005*),* ‘Plant Diversity of Assam – A Checklist of Angiosperm and Gymnosperms*’ (*Barooah and Ahmed, 2014*)and ‘*Plantes Assam- Current Taxonomic Version of the Vascular Plants of Assam* (*Chowdhury,2021*) includes two species of *Benstonea foetida*(= *Pandanus foetidus)*, *Benstonea humilis *and * other spp. of Pandanus viz P. furcatus, P. humilis, P. tectorius, P. unguifer, P.amaryllifolius and Pandanus odorifer * in Assam under Familly Pandanaceae. Sir, I had collected this specimen in the year 2012 (twelve years back). The leaf of specimen shown in the images has spine in one margin not on both margin. But in *Benstonea thwatsii or Benstonea foetida *both margin of the leaf possess spine. If I could get the fruits of this specimen from the site I will definitely upload it.

Definitely it is not Benstonea foetida. Benstonea thwatsii has very long leaves more than 5 m but the base of leaf is not pigmented so may not be Benstonea thwatsii also. Please send fruit pic for proper identification. Thanks & Regards, Prof. Nadaf On 2024-03-24 15:45, J.M. Garg wrote: Hi, Nadaf ji, Is it Benstonea thwatsii or Benstonea foetida (Roxb.)
