The flora

Anthuriums AnthuriumsThe flora of Mauritius is particularly diverse and includes more than 700 species of native flowering plants and ferns. Of this number 311 species are endemic to the region. © Bamba Sourang / OT Ile Maurice

Much of the shimmering flora was imported from Africa and Asia. 900 species are listed on the island today. Whether wild or cultivated, they never fail to create the most beautiful and lush landscapes, thanks to the Mauritian trinity of sun, water and fertile earth.
