Pandanus vandermeeschii is a species of plant in the family Pandanaceae.

A small freely-branching tree of 6–8 metres (20–26 ft), the ends of its branches can droop downwards.

[3] This species was once common around the coastal lowlands and offshore islets of Mauritius.

Its natural habitat is the palm rich forests, where it grows together with Pandanus utilis (a species which can be distinguished by its whorled darker green leaves).

[4] Its Mauritian relatives are mostly native to the highland marshes and heaths, and include Pandanus barklyi (a shrub with large flat seeds and drooping leaves); Pandanus eydouxia (a tree with long wide leaves and enormous fruits); Pandanus rigidifolius & wiehei (small-seeded shrubs with stiff and vertical leaves).
