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 on Piton Grand Bassin hill near Grand Bassin in Mauritius, where only two individuals were known to grow in the 1990s.[1][2]
