About Vallée de Mai
Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve ("May Valley") is a nature park on the island of Praslin in the Seychelles. It consists of a well-preserved palm forest, flagship species made up of the island endemic coco de mer, as well as five other endemic palms. In 1983, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ranking as one of the world's smallest natural properties on the list at just 19.5 hectares (48 acres). The coco de mer (Lodoicea maldivica), a monocot tree in the Arecaceae (palm family), has the largest seeds (double nut seed) of any plant in the world.
