<div>In Papua New Guinea, the fruit of an as yet</div>
<div>unidentified Pandanus species is said to be used or</div>
<div>to have been used as a hallucinogen. Unfortunately,</div>
<div>we have no dependable ethnographic or</div>
<div>ethnobotanical information about this. The fruits</div>
<div>of several Pandanus species have been found to</div>
<div>contain N,N-DMT (Schultes and Hofmann 1992,</div>
<div>52*). The species Pandanus antaresensis St. John is</div>
<div>used in Papua New Guinea as an analgesic (Ott 1993, 401*). The Australian Aborigines make a</div>
<div>wine from the fruits of Pandanus spiralis R. Br.</div>
<div>(Bock 1994, 147*).</div>
<div>In Nepal, the screw pine (Pandanus nepalensis</div>
<div>St. John [syn. Pandanus furcatus auct. non. Roxb.])</div>
<div>is considered sacred to Ganesha, the Hindu</div>
<div>elephant-headed god. The leaves of the kevada or</div>
<div>aromatic screw pine Pandanus odoratissimus L.</div>
<div>[syn. P. tectorius auct. non. Soland. ex Parkinson],</div>
<div>which is called ketaka in Sanskrit, are offered to his</div>
<div>father Shiva (Majupuria and Joshi 1988, 170f.*).</div>
<div>In Ayurvedic medicine, the leaves are used as a</div>
<div>tonic aphrodisiac, while in Thailand they are</div>
<div>often used as a cooking spice (Norman 1991,66*).</div>
<div>In Hawaii, root tips that grow above the ground</div>
<div>are used together with sugarcane juice to make a</div>
<div>tonic (Krauss 1981, 6*). The flowers contain a</div>
<div>stimulating essential oil composed of benzyl</div>
<div>benzoate, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, geranol,</div>
<div>linalool, guiacol, phenethyl alcohol, and aldehydes</div>
<div>(Majupuria and Joshi 1988, 171*). In India, the</div>
<div>ripe spadix of Pandanus tectorius Parkins. ex Du Roi</div>
<div>[syn. Pandanus odoratissimus 1. f.] is the source of</div>
<div>the so-called kewda perfume, one ofwhose uses is to</div>
<div>aromatize smoking tobacco (Nicotiana rustica,</div>
<div>Nicotiana tabacum) (Bartels 1993, 122*).</div>
<div>In the Seychelles, a number of species known</div>
<div>as vacoa are regarded as aphrodisiacs (MiillerEbeling</div>
<div>and Ratsch 1989, 72*).</div>
