Elaeocarpus bojeri, locally known as a bois dentelle ('lace wood' in French), descriptive of its delicate white flowers)[2] is a species of flowering plant in the Elaeocarpaceae family.[1] The species was once only found close to an Indian temple at Grand Bassin in Mauritius, where fewer than ten individuals were known to grow in the 1990s.[1][2]
