Date : 21.12.2012 Location: Kamrup district Family : Pandanaceae Genus & species : Pandanus sp. (?) Habitat: Grows wild on. roky area near the stream. Habit : Herb
Leaf : Spine present on one side of the margin.
Flower : Not seen
In my opinion, it is Pandanus polycephalus
The species is belong to genus Pandanus Only.
Name of species is Pandanus nepalensis.
Why WCSP and Catalogue of Life give Pandanus nepalensis H.St.John as syn. of Pandanus furcatus Roxb.? Actually that is mistake. Pandanus furcatus found only in southern India. And nepalensis in North eastern region.
Details you will get in Indian pandanaceae book.
