Quote from the book cover:
The first flora of Seychelles was included in J G Baker's work 'Flora of Mauritius and the Seychelles' published in 1877. Since then, as in most tropical countries, the natural environment of the archipelago has changed considerably as a result of increasing pressure from human activities. Today, excluding a few places that still have their original appearence, Seychelles landscapes are less marked by native plants than by the profusion of exotic species introduced during two centuries of human occupation.
