The Pandanales are an order of flowering plants.
The order includes five families, with trees, shrubs, lianas, and herb species. Several members of the order produce strap-like leaves that are used for basketry; Pandanus (family Pandanaceae) is used across Oceania for thatch, basketry, and to make cloth, and Carludovica leaves (family Cyclanthaceae) are made into Panama hats.
