I purchased this 3gal Pandanus labeled as Dwarf variegated. The leaves are totally spineless.
Anyone know the cultivar?

Looks like a variegated Spider Plant to me. Maybe it was labeled wrong? Perhaps the Chlorophytum viridescens 'Hawaiian' I found in our database? Spider Plant (Chlorophytum viridescens 'Hawaiian') Just guessing here based on what I'm seeing.

I agree with the others; the growth pattern does not match the spiral arrangement of the typical Pandanus.
You have been spoofed.

I have many spider plants growing out in the garden and growth habit much different.
Many types of Pandanus exist in this world.
After online research I believe it to be Pandanus baptistii 'Aureus' who is a dwarf variegated variety.
Here are a couple more photos showing the growth habit producing new offsets from main central plant.

Maybe @Gina can give insight and verification.

Our local botanical gardens all have that plant labeled Pandanus baptistii with/without the "aureus' or variegata. It is a common nursery plant here in Florida.
Be kind, we all struggle sometimes.
