    The Lantana is a low scrambling shrub. The yellow flowers have a funny smell. The locals call it "Vieu Dame" - "Old Lady". The pounded leaves are used to treat wounds and ulcers. They also make a stimulating tea. Millions of years of total isolation have led to the development of animals and plants which exist only on the Seychelles. It became undisturbed by human civilization in a warm and tropical environment.
    On top the British introduced and tested all kinds of plants in the Seychelles. This improves the rentability of their colonies.
