Pandanus barkleyi is a species of plant in the family Pandanaceae, endemic to Mauritius.
It is endemic to Mauritius, and dense clumps of it are quite common in the highlands, in marshes and on hill slopes. It sometimes spreads vegetatively, rather than through seed. The leaf tufts can cause longer branches to break off and root on the ground where they fall. This can lead to large clumps forming and spreading outwards. The inside of the clump can die away, and the soil here is transformed into raised drier soil by the Pandanus. In this modified soil, other plants species develop and grow.
