Oceania Cruise to Spain - August 2014

- Indigenous and endemic: This is the place where one can see plants exclusively from Madeira and other Atlantic islands like the Azores, Canaries and Cape Verde. There are about 100 indigenous plants exhibited, ranging from those characteristically found on the more exposed slopes of Madeira to those typical of mid-altitude vegetation and trees found in Madeira’s natural forest, the ‘Laurissilva’ forest.

- Tree Garden: Here you find plants from ecologically opposed areas of the earth, like the Himalaya and the Tropics.

- Succulents: The capacity of storing water is what distinguishes the plants in this department, most of them coming from South America.

- Tropical/Cultivated/Aromatic/Medicinal: In this area several tropical and subtropical fruit trees – such as mango, papaya, avocado – as well as coffee trees, sugar cane and popular medicine plants can be seen.
