Tahitian screwpine


species: Pandanus tectorius
common name: Tahitian screwpine
family: Pandanaceae
when & where encountered: Costa Rica - 2015

A mature Pandanus tectorius (also known as Tahitian screwpine) is a striking sight, and although native to the South Pacific, I recall seeing my first in Costa Rica, at a lodge near the Arenal Volcano.
