Description: General information and classification.
Pandanus caricosus {Pandanaceae} Voivoi Voivoi (Pandanus caricosus) is traditionally used for weaving mats. Its leaves are thorny, like the leaves of a screw pine. When the leaves are five or six feet long, they are cut off, the thorns and mid-rib are removed with a black mussel shell or knife, boiled and then put into the sun until quite dry. They can then be put aside until until they are scraped. When scraped they are rolled into coils until they are needed for weaving. When about to weave the mats, they first split the voivoi into strips of the required width and after splitting, the mats are woven.
