Pandanales is an order of flowering plants found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in coastal and humid forested areas. The group includes various life forms such as herbs, shrubs, and tree-like plants with long, spiral-arranged leaves. Families in this order, like Pandanaceae, often adapt well to wet environments, and some species are culturally significant in many local traditions.
Several species are used for weaving, crafts, and traditional medicine. A widely known example is Pandan Pandanus amaryllifolius, the fragrant screwpine, whose aromatic leaves are a staple in Southeast Asian cooking, used to flavor rice, desserts, and beverages. The plant also holds symbolic and ceremonial value in regional cultures.
