Among the curious features in this list are the great number of endemic
shrubs in Mauritius, and the remarkable assemblage of five endemic genera
of palms in the Seychelles Islands. We may also notice that one palm
(_Latania loddigesii_) is confined to Round Island and two other adjacent
islets offering a singular analogy to the peculiar snake also found there.
