| Abstract: | Pandanus tectorius Parkins, is a widespread and variable species with many forms, often local, some of which have been considered as distinct species. Fourteen binomials are here considered as synonyms of P. tectorius, but several of them warrant retention at varietal rank. Comments on the variability and its relation to a species concept in the genus Pandanus are included. |
