林投（學名：Pandanus tectorius），古作菻荼，別稱露兜樹、野菠蘿、假菠蘿等，為露兜樹科露兜树属下的一個物种，原產於馬來界，澳大利亚東部及太平洋三大島群。蘭嶼達悟族人稱之為「Ango」；達悟族會使用林投的氣生根烤或曝曬飛魚，部分客家人則用林投氣根替代麻繩製作草鞋。製造麻繩的方法是在山上找出林投樹的氣根, 氣根是淺啡色，一般有5至15厘米的粗度, 把它劈下，用刀把外皮剝下，用手指把所需要的粗度撕下，一般一根林投氣根可製作幾十條麻繩，把這些撕下來的氣根用陽光曬乾，就可完成。[3] 目录 1 描述 1.1 林投花 2 中醫藥療病 3 另見 4 註釋 5 外部連結描述 "林投果"顯示出指骨. 台灣鼻頭角林投果林投可以長到4-14米〈13-46英尺〉高。單樹幹多刺，在4-8米（13-26英尺）的高度開叉。[4] 整棵樹是由氣生根堅實地固定到到地面來支撐。它的葉子通常為90-150厘米（3.0-4.9英尺）長、5-7厘米（2.0-2.8）寬，鋸齒般的邊緣。林投花林投花是雌雄異株，具有非常不同的雄花及雌花。雄花小、散發香氣、聚簇狀或总状花序，且花期短、只持續一天。而雌花類如菠蘿。[4] 中醫藥療病其根、果及果核可入藥，性味甘、淡，可發汗解表、清熱利尿。另見林投姐註釋 ^ Pandanus tectorius Parkinson ex Zucc..
