Footnotes

• The Coco de Mer (sometimes also referred to as the sea coconut, double coconut, coco fesse, or Seychelles nut) is a palm endemic solely to the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles.
  
  Until the true source of the nut was discovered in 1768, popular legend spoke of a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea, as the husks are sometimes to be found floating on the water.
