The Legend of the Coco de mer
Legends about the Coco de Mer came into existence after 1743, when the real Coco de Mer trees were discovered. Fruits of Coco de Mer are developed only on female trees. Male trees have long phallic-looking catkins. Because of these unusual, erotic shapes, some people believed that the trees made passionate love on dark and stormy nights. According to the legend, male trees uproot themselves, and approach female trees. Even today the pollination of the Coco de Mer is not fully understood.
In the Victorian era, General Charles George Gordon, who visited the Seychelles in 1881, believed that the Vallée de Mai in Seychelles was the original Garden of Eden as described in the Bible, and that the Coco de Mer was the forbidden fruit.
Endemic to Seychelles, the Coco de Mer is regarded as a powerful aphrodisiac and revered as a fertility symbol.
