Pandanus brosimos, the wild karuka, is a species of tree in the family Pandanaceae, endemic to New Guinea.

[1] Along with Pandanus julianettii, it is widely harvested in New Guinea as a traditional food source.

Many local ethnic groups make use of pandanus languages (a special avoidance language) when harvesting the nuts.

[2][3] It was first formally described by Elmer Drew Merrill and Lily May Perry in 1940.
