Dear sir, 

The species is belong to genus Pandanus Only. 

Name of species is Pandanus nepalensis. 

Thanks

Hi, Rahul ji,

Why WCSP and Catalogue of Life give Pandanus nepalensis H.St.John as syn. of Pandanus furcatus Roxb.?

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Rahul ji.

Dear Sir, 

Actually that is mistake. Pandanus furcatus found only in southern India. And nepalensis in North eastrn region. 

Details you will get in Indian pandanaceae book. 

Thank you

Rahul

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Nadaf ji.

Earlier Rahul ji told me that it is Pandanus nepalensis H.St.John.

Now I am confused.

Pl. clarify.

Dear All,

Pandanus nepalensis H.St.John  is the syn. of Pandanus furcatus Roxb., and this is not the correct ID

This is rather Benstonea foetida (Roxb.) Callm. & Buerki Syn. Pandanus foetidus Roxb.

Thank you

Saroj Kasaju

[J.M. Garg]

Nadaf ji has earlier stated it to be Benstonea thwaitesii (Martelli) Callm. & Buerki

That was just  a suggestion, not the confirmation !

Hi, Nadaf ji,

Is it Benstonea thwatsii or Benstonea foetida (Roxb.) Callm. & Buerki ?

Dear All,

It is very difficult to identify on the basis of only leaf structure. Definitely it is not Benstonea foetida. Benstonea thwatsii has very long leaves more than 5 m but the base of leaf is not pigmented so may not be Benstonea thwatsii also. Please send fruit pic for proper identification. 

Thanks & Regards,

Prof. Nadaf

Dear All

I want to inform you the latest data available  on 

Occurrence of Species Under Pandanaceae in Assam

          According to 'Flowering plants of India –An Annotated Checklist (Monocotyledon)', BSI [Mao and Dash 2020]the distribution of species under family Pandanaceae in Assam are Pandanus assamensis, P. diversus, P. furcatus, P. martinianus, P. unguifer. On the other hand Assam’s flora (Chowdury 2005), ‘Plant Diversity of Assam – A Checklist of Angiosperm and Gymnosperms’ (Barooah and Ahmed, 2014)and ‘Plantes Assam- Current Taxonomic Version of the Vascular Plants of Assam (Chowdhury,2021) includes two species of  Benstonea foetida(= Pandanus foetidus), Benstonea humilis and  other spp. of Pandanus viz P. furcatus, P. humilis, P. tectorius, P. unguifer, P.amaryllifolius and Pandanus odorifer  in Assam under Familly Pandanaceae.

                        Sir, I had collected this specimen in the year 2012 (twelve years back). The leaf of specimen shown in the images has spine in one margin not on both margin. But in Benstonea thwatsii or Benstonea foetida both margin of the leaf possess spine. If I could get the fruits of this specimen from the site I will definitely upload it.
