Thank you for sending the pics. … has contacted me & sent fruit
parts for analysis. Now I am going through it.


Is it Pandanus furcatus ??


Sir, …, is it same species with my post no.MS April, 2017/02 ? This is different location, i.e., Sairep, Lunglei district. It occurs at 1,400 – 1,500 m. altitude. The seeds are greedily eaten by squrrels.


We compared with our collections and arrived at following conclusions. – doesn’t match with any of the species collected by us


To me also appear similar to your images in another thread: MS April, 2017/02 Pandanus sp. for ID


Till yet this species not identified


Two sps. are found in Mizoram, viz., Pandanus scortechini Martelli and Pandanus furcatus Roxb..

Fruit shape does not match with Pandanus furcatus Roxb., as such it could be Pandanus scortechini Martelli.
