  1. screw pine

    A screw pine is a tropical tree or shrub belonging to the genus Pandanus, often characterized by aerial prop roots, spiral arrangement of leaves and fruits that resemble huge pineapples or pine cones. The term "screw pine" is a bit of a misnomer because these plants are not pines or conifers. They get their common name from the spirally arranged leaves which resemble the threaded pattern of a screw.
