(Calophyllum inophyllum), make up single trees or small stands around the coastal margin. While Coconut palms are common in Tuvalu, they are usually cultivated rather than naturally seeding and growing. Tuvaluan traditional histories are that the first settlers of the islands planted Coconut palms as they were not found on the islands. The two recorded mangrove species in Tuvalu are the common Togo (Rhizophora stylosa) and the red-flowered mangrove Sagale (Lumnitzera littorea), which is only reported on Nanumaga, Niutao, Nui and Vaitupu. Mangrove ecosystems are protected under Tuvaluan law. Native broadleaf forest The native broadleaf forest is limited to 4.1% of the vegetation types on the islands of Tuvalu. The islets of the Funafuti Conservation Area have 40% of the remaining native broadleaf forest on Funafuti atoll. The native broadleaf forest of Funafuti would include the following species, that were described by Charles Hedley in 1896, which include the Tuvaluan name (some of which may follow Samoan plant names): Fala or Screw Pine, (Pandanus) Puka or pouka, (Hernandia peltata) Futu, (Barringtonia asiatica) Fetau, (Calophyllum inophyllum) Ferra, (Ficus aspem), native fig Fau or Fo fafini, or woman's fibre tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus) Lakoumonong, (Wedelia strigulosa) Lou, (Cardamine sarmentosa) Meili, (Polypodium), fern bird's-nest fern, Asplenium nidus Milo or miro, (Thespesia populnea) Ngashu or Naupaka, (Scaevola taccada) Ngia or Ingia, (Pemphis acidula), bush Nonou or nonu, (Morinda citrifolia) Pukavai, (Pisonia grandis) Sageta, (Dioclea violacea), vine Talla talla gemoa, (Psilotum triquetrum), fern Tausunu or tausoun, (Heliotropium foertherianum) Tonga or tongo, (Rhizophora mucronata), found around swamps Tulla tulla, (Triumfetta procumbens), whose prostrate stems trailed for several feet over the ground Valla valla, (Premna tahitensis) The blossoms that are valued for their scent and for use in flower necklaces and headdresses include: Fetau, (Calophyllum inophyllum); Jiali, (Gardenia taitensis); Boua (Guettarda speciosa); and Crinum. Donald Gilbert Kennedy, the resident District Officer in the administration of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony from 1932 to 1938, identified other trees found in the broadleaf forest: Pua, (Guettarda speciosa) Kanava, (Cordia subcordata) Charles Hedley (1896) identified the uses of plants and trees from the native broadleaf forest as including: Food plants: Coconut; and Ferra, native fig (Ficus aspem). Fibre: Coconut; Ferra; Fala, Screw Pine, Pandanus; Fau or Fo fafini, or woman's fibre tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus). Timber: Fau or Fo fafini; Pouka, (Hernandia peltata); Ngia or Ingia, (Pemphis acidula); Miro, (Thespesia populnea); and Tonga, (Rhizophora mucronata). Dye: Valla valla, (Premna tahitensis); Tonga,
