Pandanus pluriloculatus is a spiny-trunked tree from coastal swamp forests of Madagascar, growing up to about 22 m tall. Grown outdoors in wet tropical climates with consistently moist soil; it is rarely cultivated and not a common houseplant.
Pandanus pluriloculatus is a dioecious tree in the family Pandanaceae which is endemic to Madagascar. The specific epithet, pluriloculatus, is a reference to the numerous locules in a compound ovary.
The trees are infrequent in coastal swampy forests. The species was first described in 1968, found along the east coast of Madagascar, in the Antalaha area. It has now been documented in Antsiranana and Toamasina provinces and in the Mananara Nord and Masoala protected areas.
