Plant Collections

Special Collections:The plant collections have four main sources: a) exotic potentially useful plants trialed at this forest station during French colonial times; b) beautiful and interesting exotic plants used to embellish the zoological garden; c) native vegetation naturally present at the site (including within some tiny fragments of degraded native forest); d) native tree species introduced into the Parc by a number of partner botanical gardens (e.g. RBG Kew and MBG) for ex-situ conservation.
