@article{Hyndman2008EthnobotanyOW, title={Ethnobotany of WopkaiminPandanus significant Papua New Guinea plant resource}, author={David Charles Hyndman}, journal={Economic Botany}, year={2008}, volume={38}, pages={287-303} }
Pandanus is well represented in Papua New Guinea with over 66 species growing from sea level to 3,000 m.

Detailed analysis of the species in classification, ecology, subsistence, ritual and material culture not only establishesPandanus as a locally significant plant resource but also contributes to the comparative…
