subglobose, 24 cm long, 22 cm wide, with about 483 drupes; drupes 4.8-5.2 cm long, 1.2-1.6 cm wide, 7–11 mm thick, increasing upwards in size, and the apical
ones definitely the largest, narrowly oblanceolate, 5-6 – 7 angled, the upper 13 free, pileus 13 – 18 mm high, hemispheric to ovoid with 5-6 – 7 sharp angles,
the surface smooth, dull, the actual apex horizontally or low obliquely truncate to the style; style 6–8 mm long, brownish orange, shining, bifurcate third-fourth
way, the fork spreading or on a few terminal drupes with style monofurcate; stigma 4-6 mm long, brown, papillose, confluent below but separating on the
forks; endocarp submedian, bony, brown- dark brown, lanceolate or conical, the apex long acuminate or cuspidate extended to the style; lateral walls 1.5-2.5 mm
thick, within smooth and shining; seeds about 36-40 mm long, 10 mm wide, lanceolate; apical mesocarp about 20 mm long, narrowly ovate; basal mesocarp
about 5 – 6 mm long, fibrous and fleshy. DiISTRIBUTION: West Java to East Java.
HABITAT ECOLOGY: Pandanus Scabrifolius 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 April to December.
VERNACULAR NAME: Cangkuang. NOTES: Pandanus scabrifolius appears close to P. bantamensis. Morphologically
these species are similar to each other by sharing linear leaves, coriaceous leaves, leaf apex gradually long tapering to subulate apex, apical ventral pleat smooth,
tertiary cross vein form oblong meshes. Pandanus bantamensis differs from P. scabrifolius by five character states, prop roots muricate in line, leaf base reddish
brown, syncarp ellipsoid-suboblong, style bifurcate nearly halfway and stigma confluent below, but separating on the forks.

Fagerlind, spec. coll. in Hort. Bogor. Culta sub no. II C 31. Tree 10-12 m tall, crown high and broad, wide spreading branches, the
stems 9-12 cm in diameter; internodes 2 – 3 mm long, armed with sharp, long and close spine, 7–9 mm long, 0.5-1.5 mm apart; prop roots long, 2.5- 6 m long, 22-
58 mm in diameter, small prop roots abundant, armed with spine like those on the internodes. Leaves 134-211 cm long, 2.8-3.78 cm wide, above dark green,
glaucous on one side, below paler green, chartaceous, with a median furrow above the midrib 14 mm wide; apical ventral pleats absent; the midrib below narrow
0.15 mm wide and raised; longitudinal parallel veins distinct on both surfaces, about 0.35-0.45 mm apart, no visible tertiary cross vein; at mid section with 55
secondary parallel vein in each side; the blade linear, tapering upwards and gradually narrowing to 15 cm subulate apex, which 10 cm down is 1.8 mm wide;
the base widened, amplexicaul, unarmed, but beginning 12.5 cm up the margin with prickles 1 mm long, 2-4 mm apart, broad base subulate, ascending at 45
o
; the midrib below beginning 12.5 cm up with prickles 3 mm long, 18-21 mm apart, the
base heavy conic, the rest subulate, wholly brown, reflexed; at midsection the margin with spines 3-4 mm long, 1-2 mm apart, heavy arcuate, subulate,
ascending, the base thickened 1–2 mm wide, wholly brown: the raised midrib below with spine 1-1.5 mm long, 4-6 mm apart, subulate, curved, ascending,
wholly brown; on the subulate apex and midrib below the margin with umbonate serration, 0.5 – 1 mm long, 1–1.5 mm apart.
VERNACULAR NAME: Cangkunang. NOTES:
Pandanus spinistigmaticus
appears close to P.
multifurcatus. Morphologically these species are similar to each other by sharing prop roots,
bark armed with stout spine, leaf apex gradually long tapering to subulate apex.
Pandanus multifurcatus differs from P. spinistigmaticus by two character states, leaves linear-ligulate, and tertiary cross vein form oblong meshes.
