Pandanus simplex is karagumoy






From the Philippine Craftsman Reprint Series, 1913

The Pandan P. simplex, known as "karagumoy" or "carogumoy," is the economic pandan of the Bicol peninsula in southern Luzon.

Karagumoy leaves have a commercial value in many places in which the plant occurs.

In Bulusan* the production is large enough to supply the local demand and leave a surplus for export to neighboring towns.

*misspelled as Balusa in the document
