Pandanus spathulatus is a species of plant in the family Pandanaceae, endemic to Mauritius but possibly extinct in the wild.
This species is distinguished by its fruit-heads, each of which is packed with 2-3-locular drupes that are 6–7 cm x 4–5 cm in size. The exposed portions of the drupes are pyramid-shaped and have flat stigmas at their tips.
It is endemic to Mauritius, where it was once widespread. Its habitat is now largely destroyed. [1]
