Seagrape leaves
Seagrape. Leaves of the seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera). This plant is usually found on the beaches of tropical America, where it grows as a small, sprawling shrub. However, when growing further inland it can reach heights of over 15 metres. It possesses leathery leaves and round, edible fruit which hang in grape-like clusters, giving it its common name.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant seagrape leaves, belonging to the Coccoloba uvifera plant. Native to the tropical beaches of America, this resilient shrub thrives in sandy coastal environments. However, it also adapts and flourishes when found further inland, growing astonishingly tall at heights exceeding 15 meters. The distinctive feature of this plant lies in its leathery foliage and clusters of round fruit that resemble grapes. These edible fruits hang gracefully from the branches, adding a touch of charm to its already picturesque appearance. It is no wonder that it earned its common name - Seagrape. Photographed on the enchanting island of Mustique in St Vincent and the Grenadines, this image captures nature's beauty at its finest. The lush green leaves against a backdrop of pristine white sand evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity. This botanical marvel not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also plays a vital role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing dunes and providing habitat for various wildlife species. Its significance extends beyond mere visual appeal. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this breathtaking moment, allowing us to appreciate the wonders of our natural world through their lens. Let this stunning print transport you to an idyllic beachside paradise where these seagrape leaves sway gently with every ocean breeze.
