pale brown and 2 exterior leafy bract, ellipsoid, 34-49 cm long, 19-22 cm wide; terminal, single, pendent, with about 724-1053 drupes; drupes 2.6-4.5 cm long,
1-16 cm wide, 7-18 mm thick, increasing upwards in size, and the apical ones definitely the largest, sometimes drupes in the center of each side the smallest;
cuneate–oblong, 5-6 angled, the upper 15 free, pileus 4–11 mm high, hemispheric to ovoid with 5-6 sharp angles, the surface smooth, dull, the actual apex low
obliquely truncate to the style; style 5-7 mm long, hornlike, reddish brown, bony, shining, bifurcate nearly halfway, the fork spreading or on a few terminal drupes
with style hornlike undivided; stigma as long as the styles 2–6 mm long, ellipsoid or lanceolate, dark brown, papillose, covering the proximal face, endocarp
submedian-median, brown - dark brown, lanceolate, the apex acuminate extended to the style; lateral walls about 1-2 mm wide, within smooth and shining; seeds
about 9-11 mm long, 3-5 mm wide, lanceolate; apical mesocarp, a single cavern about 8-20 mm long, free of fibers; basal mesocarp about 7-14 mm long, fibrous
and fleshy. DISTRIBUTION: West Java to East Java.
HABITAT ECOLOGY: Pandanus pseudolais occupies very wide habitat
ranges. Some are found on lowland areas below 500 m, and the rest are found on lower montane forest below 1500 m above sea level, fruiting in October to
December. VERNACULAR NAME: Cangkuwang.
NOTES: Pandanus pseudolais appears close to .P. bantamensis. Morphologically these species are similar to each other by sharing prop roots muricate in lines,
linear leaves, coriaceous leaves, leaf base reddish brown, leaf apex gradually long tapering to subulate apex, apical ventral pleat smooth, tertiary cross vein form
oblong meshes, recurved spine present. Pandanus bantamensis differs from P. pseudolais by two character states, style bifurcate nearly halfway and stigma
confluent below, but separating on the forks. SPECIMENS EXAMINED: — WEST JAVA: Bogor, Jasinga-Yanlappa, Rahayu
