Curepipe Botanic Gardens in Curepipe, is the second largest botanical garden in Mauritius created in 1870, in which the initial goal was to receive several varieties of plants that could not get acclimatized in the less temperate regions of the island.
Although smaller than the one of Pamplemousses (Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden) it houses the rarest palm tree of the world, the unique specimen of Hyophorbe amaricaulis [1] [2].
