| Pandanus tectorius, commonly known as the screw pine or hala tree, is a tropical coastal plant native to the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its unique spiral arrangement of long, narrow, spiny-edged leaves and its stilt-like aerial roots that provide stability in sandy and unstable soils. The plant is highly adaptable, often found along beaches and coastal areas, where it helps prevent erosion. Its fruits are large, segmented, and resemble a pineapple, serving as a food source in many Pacific cultures. Additionally, its leaves are traditionally used for weaving mats, baskets, and thatching. |
