I'm working on an Omani text and have come across this tree. I just can't figure out what it is called in English. I found a website referring to it as Keedha, but that's just a straight transliteration. Is there an actual translation for the name of this tree?

There are 750 accepted species of this plant. You can see some of selected in this link

And here the list of all of them (thousands)

Pandanus (only) which I would go for to be safe unless you confirm the exact name from the omani tourism department.
