Pandaniflorae (892 words)
The Pandaniflorae, as here treated, are a group of monocots comprising two families: the Pandanaceae (screw-"pines") and the Cyclanthaceae (Panama hat plants).
There has been general agreement that the Cyclanthaceae and Pandanaceae are closely related, and they have usually been considered close relatives of the palms, which they resemble.
Both the Cyclanthaceae and Pandanaceae have a strong resemblance to palms, though the architecture of each group resembles the palms in different ways.
