This article reviews the literature and current information on the psychoactive flora of Papua New Guinea. The use of psychoactive plants in Papua New Guinea has often been reported in the literature. However, most of these species are still poorly understood. It is recommended in this article that more systematic and multidisciplinary research is required on the psychoactive flora of Papua New Guinea. This rsearch has the potential for the discovery and understanding of new psychoactive drugs.

The local people of Ujung Kulon use the leaves of screwpine (Pandanus odoratissimus L.f.) for their daily purposes, especially making mats. The people recognise two entities of pandanus/screwpine as two different taxa, the "pandan samak" and "pandan laut". Both are identified here as belonging to P. odoratissimus. The two taxa are regarded closely related, in which the "pandan laut" is believed to be the wild type of the domesticated "pandan samak". Its cultivated in Ciundil. Although P. furcatus Roxburgh and P. dubius Sprengel are also recognised, neither is used as source of mats.

Pandanus conoideus is an endemic plant of Papua, Indonesia, reported to be very rich in carotenoids. The purpose of this study was to develop method for the determination of carotenoids (α-cryptoxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene and β-carotene) in P. conoideus oil (PO) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). sing the proposed method in this research, carotenoids content of nine clones of PO were analyzed which ranged from 5.4-138.5 ng/mg for α-cryptoxanthin, 3.9-29.4 ng/mg for β-cryptoxanthin, 3.5-80.0 ng/mg for α-carotene, and 10.8-118.0 ng/mg for β-carotene. Our results showed that four carotenoids content was very small as compared to total carotenoids content (3027-19959 ng/mg). This suggests that those four carotenoids were not a major component of the PO carotenoids. Using the principal component analysis, nine clones of P. conoideus can be grouped based on the proximity of its carotenoid content into group A (Monsor, Mbarugum, Himbiak, Monsrus and Memeri), group B (Menjib Rumbai), and group C (Edewewits, Hibcau and Hityom).
