Kapisen

Kapisen is the bi-annual newsletter of the Seychelles’ NGO‚ Plant Conservation Action group (PCA). Kapisen is jointly edited by members of PCA and of the Geobotanical Institute.

We publish short articles for a wide audience of lay-persons and experts in Seychelles and around the world interested in Seychelles’ plants and their conservation. The articles are written both by local and international botanists, and include topics such as taxonomy, ecology, field observations, plant use, plant conservation, or habitat restoration.

Kapisen is the creole name of the endemic tree Northea hornei (Sapotaceae) that is one of the dominant native tree species in upland forests on Seychelles’ granitic inner islands (see Kapisen 1, March 2004, p 2).
