Endemic to the Seychelles Islands! Formerly the Coco de Mer was known as Maldive Coconut. Its scientific name, Lodoicea maldivica, originated before the 18th century when the Seychelles were uninhabited. In centuries past the coconuts that fell from the trees and ended up in the sea would be carried away westwards by the prevailing sea currents.
"Legend has it that sailors who first saw the nut floating in the sea imagined that it resembled a woman's disembodied buttocks. This association is reflected in one of the plant's archaic botanical names, Lodoicea callipyge Comm. ex J. St.-Hil., in which callipyge is from Greek words meaning 'beautiful rump'."
"Guiness Book Of World Records has the Coco de Mer as the worlds largest seed."
"Until the true source of nut was discovered in 1768, it was believed by many to grow on a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea."
"European nobles in the sixteenth century would often have the shells of these nuts cleaned and decorated with valuable jewels as collectibles for their private galleries."
"The name of the genus, Lodoicea, is derived from Lodoicus, the latinized form of Louis, in honour of King King Louis XV of France."
" The Coco de Mer is now a rare protected species."
