Pandanus glaucocephalus

Pandanus glaucocephalus is a species of plant in the family Pandanaceae, endemic to Mauritius.

In its shape and growth form, this species most resembles the related Pandanus barkleyi.

This is born on a short, fat stem, with long, slender, leaf-like bracts that extend further than the fruit-head.

The drupes' exposed parts are raised and conical, with flattened or depressed tips, covered in cracks and scattered stigmas.

[1][2][3] The Pandanus glaucocephalus is endemic to Mauritius, and grows in exposed, isolated patches in the highlands.

The grey trunk of Pandanus glaucocephalus barely has any stilt-roots.
