Editing Pandanus (section)

== Taxonomy ==
Though often called "pandanus palms", these plants are not closely related to palm trees. The genus is named after the [[Malay language|Malay]] word ''pandan'' given to ''[[Pandanus amaryllifolius]],'' the genus's most commonly known species.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Christenhusz|first1=Maarten J.

It has many cognates in [[Austronesian languages]], underscoring its importance in [[Austronesian peoples|Austronesian]] cultures, including [[Atayal language|Atayal]] ''pangran''; [[Kavalan language|Kavalan]] ''pangzan''; [[Thao language|Thao]] ''panadan''; [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] ''pandan''; [[Chamorro language|Chamorro]] ''pahong''; [[Manggarai language|Manggarai]] ''pandang''; [[Malagasy language|Malagasy]] ''fandrana,'' [[Tongan language|Tongan]] ''fā''; [[Tahitian language|Tahitian]] ''fara''; [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] ''hala'' all referring to plants of similar characteristics and/or uses whether in the same genus (particularly ''[[Pandanus tectorius]]'') or otherwise (in the case of [[Māori language|Māori]] ''whara'' or ''hara;'' e.g. [[Phormium tenax|hara''keke'']]).<ref name="Wolff2018">{{cite book|last1=Wolff|first1=John U.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KSZzDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA927|title=Proto-Austronesian Phonology with Glossary|publisher=Cornell Southeast Asia Program Publications|year=2018|isbn=978-1-5017-3599-8|volume=II|page=927}}</ref><ref name="temarareo">{{cite web|series=The Evolution of Plant Names|url=http://www.temarareo.org/PPN-Fara.html|access-date=15 January 2019|title=Proto-Polynesian Etymologies: *Fara|work=Te Mära Reo: The Language Garden|publisher=Benton Family Trust}}</ref> ''Pandanus'' is traditionally divided into six [[Subgenus|subgenera]] (''Coronata'', ''Kurzia'', ''Lophostigma'', ''Pandanus,'' ''Rykia,'' and ''Vinsonia''), however [[Molecular phylogenetics|molecular phylogenetic]] analyses have shown these subgenera to not represent the true evolutionary history of ''Pandanus'' as all but ''Coronata'' are either [[Polyphyly|polyphyletic]] or [[Paraphyly|paraphyletic]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
