RE Flora

Réunion Island

Flora can be defined as all plant life within a particular region. The term can also be used for all plant life at a particular time, and therefore includes not only native, but also imported and invasive species. Although some of these plants may not be indigenous to Réunion Island, they were all found and painted there.
