Project Description
Despite its record shattering size and weight, the coco de mer (Lodoicea maldivica) is seldom known to those outside the field of botany. This illustration aims to give this towering palm the recognition its stature deserves by dispelling its myth enshrouded origins, revealing its life cycle, and offering a glimpse into how this secluded giant fits into the modern world.
