| dc.description.abstract | <p>Ironically. the best known tree of Easter Island, the <em>Sophora toromiro</em> (Philippi) SKOTTSBERG, or commonly, the <em>toromiro</em> and sometimes <em>miro</em>, no longer grows there. at least not in the wild. The numerous (endemic) <em>toromiros</em> that were once there were either cut down by the Islanders to use for making implements. for carving, and in construction and cooking, or else destroyed by the tens of thousands of sheep that roamed relatively freely over the Island.</p> | |
