Nesocodon mauritianus
Common Name: Nesocodon
Family: Campanulaceae
Synonym(s): Wahlenbergia mauritiana I.Richardson
Country of Origin: Mauritius
Description: In the 1970s a single population of N. mauritianus was found growing on a waterfall cliff side (Cascade Cinq Cents Pied). It had survived there because of consistent moisture trickling from above, and limited competition from other species. It is pollinated by the native gecko (Phelsuma ornata) which lives in the same cliffs.
