Pandani

Pandani is found only in Tasmania and is the largest heath plant in the world. Although it resembles its namesake, the pandanus palm of tropical and South-East Asia, the pandani is in no way related to it.

In Tasmania pandanis are found in subalpine plant communities. The long, sharp-edged leaves on their trunk provide insulation.

You can find enormous stands of pandanis around Dove Lake in Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair National Park.
