Is it Pandanus unguifer<\/em> ??????<\/p>\n

\n

It is not pandanus ungifer<\/em>…
It is looking like pandanus furcatus<\/em> with some variations.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you sir. The size is very small, i.e., plant size (1 m high) and fruit size (about 7 to 10 cm dia.)<\/p>\n

\n

Can you please send leaves tip photo so it will confirms ungifer<\/em> or others.<\/p>\n

\n

Sir, I’ll try to send you its leaves tip photo.<\/p>\n

We compared with our collections and arrived at following conclusions.
\u00a0– matches close to Benstones foetida <\/em>(Benstonea<\/em> is a new\u00a0 genus recently added in Pandanaceae<\/em>; earlier it was Pandanus<\/em>). For\u00a0 confirmation we need fruit parts of this species<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
