The Lodoicea Maldivica is one of the world's three rare plants,and it is known locally as the holy fruit for sex for two reasons.  First it is due to the Legend of Adam and Eve.  People know that they ate the forbidden fruit and then were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Lodoicea maldivica is the food Adam and Eve ate.  Another reason to be the sex fruit is the appearance of Lodoucea Maldivica. It looks like the exual characteristics of both females and males. 

Why not depart now to have a look at the unique plant in Seychelles? Believe me, it will make you unforgettable.
