All most all of the plants on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) are exotics, introduced. They have been brought for food, horticulture, landscape and by accident. I am in the process of producing a current species list and other papers on the plant life here on the island. Some of the plants there are very exotic. Most of them are very rare. Rare plants are plants that you don't see very often.

∙ 13y agoPalaeobotanical studies of fossil pollen and tree moulds left by lava flows indicate that the Easter Island originally was forested with a range of trees, shrubs, ferns, and grasses. All the forest is now gone.
A large now extinct palm called the Rapanui palm (Paschalococos disperta) and related to the Chilean wine palm (Jubaea chilensis), was one of the dominant trees and like its Chilean counterpart, probably took close to 100 years to reach its adult height.
