island is remarkable for its palm-vegetation, apart from the 
Coco-nut Palm, which is wanting here, as well as in Norfolk 
Island, where, as well as in New Zealand, there is one endemic 
species of this family. The extreme rarity of Palms, except 
the Coco-nut, in Eastern Polynesia, may, however, be due 
to the hand of man, as the existence of two or three very 
rare endemic forms suggests.
