It is known for producing the largest seeds in the plant kingdom, which can weigh up to 30 kilograms. The seeds have a distinctive shape, resembling a female silhouette, and are often sought after for their beauty and rarity. This palm tree can grow up to 25 meters tall and has large, fan-shaped leaves that can reach up to 4 meters in length. The coco de mer is also an important part of the local ecosystem, providing habitat for various species, including the endemic Seychelles black parrot. Conservation efforts are in place to protect this remarkable plant from overharvesting and habitat loss.
