Pandanus candelabrum, also known as the chandelier tree or candelabrum tree,[2] is a species of screw palm found in tropical Africa, notably Liberia.[3] It only grows on kimberlite outcroppings, making it a potentially useful indicator for diamond prospecting in a process called Geobotanical prospecting.[4][5]
