Researching the ancient landscape of the Seychelles archipelago I found some amazing ancient plants growing since another age. Some of these species have been growing here for 250million years. The granite islands have been separate from other parts of Gondwana for 65 million years, however the plant communities show us the connection that other continents had many years ago with this beautiful landscape.
