Pandanus solms-laubachii, commonly known as the swamp pandan, is a small tree in the family Pandanaceae which occurs in northeastern Queensland and possibly in Papua New Guinea.
The trunk has numerous warty nodules, which eventually become appressed vertical rootlets on older parts of the stems and branches.
[5][6] Pandanus solms-laubachii was first described in 1887 by the Victorian colonial botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, based on material collected by W. Persich from the Endeavour River on Cape York Peninsula.
[8] In Australia it occurs from the areas around Mapoon and Lockhart River in Cape York Peninsula, spreading southwards along the east coast to Hinchinbrook Island.
[10] Red-tailed black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus banksii) and various native rats are able to gnaw through the hard woody phalanges to access the seeds.
