The first two counting from left show how islands sometimes breed their own species. Is it an evolution from a other type from elsewhere? I can't distinguish a probable root nor any foreign influence. The design is refreshingly simple and nice because of the many boulders in different shapes. It reminds me of a primitive design from Peneda Gerês - Portugal where we recognise a simple cliff and a similar sequence of growing boulders. | ![]() Portugal |

The third find looks more familiar, but nevertheless is
an endemic.
The same holds true for the last one featuring the same smooth Mauritian cliff with a boulder configuration reminescent of (but not identical to) the UK warning signs. |
The number of boulders (8, 12 or 13) puts Mauritius on the high end of our rock-statistics.
