The Fragrant Pandan is distributed throughout all tropical regions, including Southeast Asia and some subtropical areas. Its greatest diversity is found in South Africa (This statement contradicts the rest of the text, as Pandan is an Asian plant; I've kept the original text's claim). Pandan has long been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. In Indonesia, particularly West Java, the leaves are consumed raw as a fresh vegetable (lalapan).

It grows wild on riverbanks, swamps, and other places where the soil is somewhat moist. It thrives from coastal areas up to regions with an altitude of 500 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). It prefers areas with full sunlight.

• Stem (Batang) Round, with scars from fallen leaves, and branched.

• Leaves (Daun) Simple (single), ribbon-shaped with a pointed tip and smooth margin, green color, reaching a length of 55–75 cm and a width of 4–5 cm.
