Pandanus tenuifolius, also known as "Vacoa chevron," is a plant species in the Pandanaceae family. It is native to the island of Rodrigues and can grow up to 5 meters in height with few branches. The fruit heads are small and round, with a smooth, dark red exterior. This species is typically found in small groups on the higher mountains and valley slopes of Rodrigues, where it is often used by inhabitants for its fibres to make roofs, hats, and baskets. It can be confused with the introduced species Pandanus utilis from Madagascar.
