Mahe: Attractions and more...
Flora and Fauna
Mahé is an extraordinary treasure house of flora that has evolved over centuries of splendid isolation.
Beyond the attractive frangipani, hibiscus, bougainvillea and tropical fruit trees that adorn the flat coastal plateau, there are rare endemic jewels such as the Jellyfish tree inhabiting Mahé's mountain strongholds and magnificent timber trees still to be found among the island's lush forests.
Primary and secondary forests are home to the carnivorous pitcher plant and
the splendid Seychelles vanilla orchid while the mist forests of humid mountain
tops is where moisture-loving plants thrive and trees are draped with mosses,
ferns and unique orchids.
