Pandanus brosimos, the wild karuka, is a species of tree in the family Pandanaceae, endemic to New Guinea.[1] Along with Pandanus julianettii, it is widely harvested in New Guinea as a traditional food source. Many local ethnic groups make use of pandanus languages (a special avoidance language) when harvesting the nuts.[2][3]
It was first formally described by Elmer Drew Merrill and Lily May Perry in 1940.[4]
