Pandanales

Flowers of the minute mycoheterotroph Lacandonia schismatica, photographed by cytediano.


Belongs within: Monocotyledoneae.

The Pandanales are a clade of mostly tropical and subtropical monocotyledons that are united by molecular analyses, but have few identified morphological synapomorphies. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Website lists two shared characters within the clade: the presence of a nucellar cap, and a minute embryo. The type family, Pandanaceae, contains Old World tropical and subtropical trees and shrubs with linear to lanceolate leaves; they may be scandent, and they often bear aerial roots (Moore & Edgar 1970). Leaves of Pandanus species (pandan) are used for weaving, and those of P. amaryllifolius are also used for flavouring and colouring food. The Cyclanthaceae are a Neotropical family of palm-like herbs, shrubs and climbing vines. Leaves of Carludovica palmata are the material used for making Panama hats. The Stemonaceae are a group of often crawling or climbing herbs found in southeast Asia and northern Australia with a single species in North America; their flowers are unusual for monocots in being tetramerous.
