The Coco de Mer is the palm with the largest coconuts in the world. It grows only on the Seychelles islands of Curieuse and Praslin. Its growing place was only discovered in 1768 by a French expedition. Before that, its origin was a mystery. One theory was that they came from an unknown palm growing in the sea, hence the name Coco de Mer or sea coconut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fruit, with its somewhat erotic shape, was given a scientific name referring to a woman's behind: Lodoicea callypige, where the species name callypige means beautiful behind in ancient Greek.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coco de Mer is a rare, protected species and has been classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2007. Since export from the Seychelles is no longer allowed, they are in extra demand and special to find in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 34 H x 32 W x 20 D cm (without stand)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rietveld Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54299901952328,"sku":"RA-25077","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/4935\/9176\/files\/IMG_6687-scaled.jpg?v=1791929863","url":"https:\/\/rietfield.nl\/products\/coco-de-mer-on-custom-stand","provider":"Rietveld Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
