Rapanea seychellarum, also known as Bwa Klate,[2][3] is a species of plant in the family Primulaceae. It is endemic to Seychelles. It is sometimes considered to be a synonym of Rapanea melanophloeos,[4] a mainland African species.
The species is assessed on the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered, facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild; the population is estimated to number less than 50 mature individuals.[1][5]
The main sites for the population are Mahé, Silhouette, and Praslin,[1] though other studies have stated the apparent disappearance from Silhouette.[6]
