Coco De Mer

Oh my, I stumbled across the most erotic piece in all of fauna...♥

"The Coco de Mer (Lodoicea maldivica), the sole member of the genus Lodoicea, is a palm endemic to the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles. Legend has it that sailors who first saw the nut floating in the sea imagined that it resembled a woman's disembodied buttocks. This association is reflected in one of the plant's archaic botanical names, Lodoicea callipyge, in which callipyge is from Greek words meaning 'beautiful rump'."

I should put one on my window ledge (as I don't have a mantelpiece).
