Dear All
I want to inform you the latest data available on
*Occurrence of Species Under Pandanaceae in Assam*
According to '*Flowering plants of India –An Annotated Checklist
(Monocotyledon)',* BSI *[Mao and Dash 2020]*the distribution of species
under family Pandanaceae in Assam are *Pandanus assamensis, P. diversus, P.
furcatus, P. martinianus, P. unguifer.* On the other hand *Assam’s flora*
(*Chowdury
2005*),* ‘Plant Diversity of Assam – A Checklist of Angiosperm and
Gymnosperms*’ (*Barooah and Ahmed, 2014*)and ‘*Plantes Assam- Current
Taxonomic Version of the Vascular Plants of Assam* (*Chowdhury,2021*)
includes two species of *Benstonea foetida*(= *Pandanus foetidus)*, *Benstonea
humilis *and * other spp. of Pandanus viz P. furcatus, P. humilis, P.
tectorius, P. unguifer, P.amaryllifolius and Pandanus odorifer * in Assam
under Familly Pandanaceae.
Sir, I had collected this specimen in the year 2012
(twelve years back). The leaf of specimen shown in the images has spine in
one margin not on both margin. But in *Benstonea thwatsii or Benstonea
foetida *both margin of the leaf possess spine. If I could get the fruits
of this specimen from the site I will definitely upload it.

Dear All,
It is very difficult to identify on the basis of only leaf structure.
Definitely it is not Benstonea foetida. Benstonea thwatsii has very long
leaves more than 5 m but the base of leaf is not pigmented so may not
be Benstonea thwatsii also. Please send fruit pic for proper
identification.
Thanks & Regards,
Prof. Nadaf
