Lace Wood Flowers

Wallpaper Description:

Perhaps the most threatened of all the trees on this list, the Bois Dentelle is native to Mauritius, and only two specimens remain. The small tree, which has lacy, bell-like flowers that bloom in clusters, is native to the island’s cloud forest, which has been heavily damaged by invasive species. Because of this habitat loss, the Bois Dentelle teeters on the verge of extinction.

The tree has no commercial value, so no efforts were made to protect it until the situation became critical. However, the government of Mauritius is finally making an attempt to save the species. One of the two remaining plants was relocated to a government nursery, which is working to cultivate offspring.
