Sideroxylon Grandiflorum are among very rare endemic plants in Mauritius. It was also believed that the fruits must have been digested by dodos to be viable to sow !!!. But recently some years on ; there were a little amount of young plants were found in the forest. In fact due to invasive weeds and plants like 'chinese guavas and privets" among others vegetal pest, this plants were almost extinct. Sometimes can be seen in nurseries like the Mauritian Ebony.
