There are thousands of types of plants that grow on tropical islands. Coconuts are one that is very widespread because of the ability of their seeds (coconuts) to float on the ocean for at least two months and then germinate when they reach the shore of another island. Palms are also common.

Pineapples, bananas, and other tropical fruits have been introduced to many tropical islands by humans.

Because islands and/or island chains are isolated, each one often has many endemic species (endemic means that they aren't found anywhere else in the world).

Some other plants include:

Tree Heliotrope (Heliotropium foertherianum)

Calophyllum inophyllum

Glueberry (Cordia subcordata)

Bermuda Grass (although it isn't native to Bermuda. It comes from other tropical islands).

Pisonia grandis

Portulaca oleracea

Tridax procumbens (a type of daisy)

Ximenia americana (Yellow plum or Sea lemon)

These are only a few of thousands of plants that live on tropical islands. I hope this was helfpul.
