Plants of Palmyra Atoll

Palmyra is covered with lush vegetation that thrives under the equatorial region’s heavy rainfall. The atoll is home to one of the last surviving stands of Pisonia beach forest in the U.S. Pacific, including some trees that tower over the exceptional height of 100 feet. Coconut trees, native ferns and shrubs also propagate the islets.
