| | Coconut |
| | Coconuts provided the only source of food and water on many of the atolls across the equatorial Pacific, and the natural distribution of coconut may have influenced the initial colonization of the region. | | | Coconuts are polygamomonoecious, having hundreds or thousands of male flowers and a few female flowers in the same inflorescence. | | | Coconut production carries a "poor man's" connotation in many areas, since the production methods are crude, often confined to planting of trees and harvesting fruit from the ground. |

The seed germinates slowly, taking up to 4 months before the shoot appears. |
