- Abstract
Mauritius, the uninhabited Round Island and several smaller islets are part of the Republic of Mauritius. These islands, with La Réunion and Rodrigues, constitute the Mascarene archipelago located in the Indian Ocean, off the east coast of Madagascar. They have a unique flora and fauna. Many Mauritian palms are more common in cultivation elsewhere in the world than they are in the wild. This paper investigates the precarious state of the palms of Mauritius in their natural habitat (Fig. 1).
