History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2041. Pandanus. The Malay name of the genus is Pandang, which is said to signify, being interpreted, 
something to be regarded, and to have been so named on account of the beauty of the tree, and its exquisite 
odor. P. odoratissimus is a large spreading branching bush, with stem-clasping imbricated leaves, bearing 
some resemblance to those of the pine-apple ; from three to five feet long, and placed in three spiral rows round 
the extremities of the branches. It grows in all soils and situations in the warmer parts of Asia, and is much 
employed there for hedges. It grows readily from branches, whence it is rare to find the full-grown ripe fruit. 
The tender white leaves of the flowers, chiefly those of the male, yield that most delightful fragrance, for 
which they are so generally esteemed, and for which the plant is cultivated in Japan. Of all the perfumes, it 
is by far the richest and most powerful. The lower pulpy part of the drupe is sometimes eaten by the natives 
in times of scarcity and famine. The tender white base of the leaves is also eaten raw or boiled, at such 
melancholy times. The taste of the pulpy part of the drupe is very disagreeable. The roots are composed of 
tough fibres, which basket-makers use to tie their work with ; they are so soft and spongy as to serve the 
natives for corks The leaves are composed of longitudinal, tough, useful fibres. In the South Sea Islands, 
where the Pandanus is also a native, this or some other species or variety is used for making mats. The 
leaves are beautifully white and glossy. In the Sandwich islands these mats are handsomely worked in
