Exotic plants
When people started coming to Mauritius to live, they brought with them, plants from the
dierent countries from where they came. Thus, they introduced many exotic plants which
they started growing for food or to beautify the environment. Some of the exotic plants,
such as the mango tree, litchi tree, sugarcane, maize, potato, and tea plants are very useful.
