Apparently some prescient Englishman had the great idea to transplant 4000 species from Kew Gardens way back when and it sure paid off.

Many species of plant life were transplanted to Castleton Gardens from Bath, along with 4000 species from Kew Gardens in London. Before long Castleton became the greatest botanical gardens in the Caribbean. At one time there were around 180 species of palm in the Palmetum, nowadays there are around 25. Many of Jamaica's beloved plant species (including the Bombay Mango and Tangerines) were first introduces to Jamaica at Castleton Gardens.

I got to know quite a few Saudis in Boston, relatives of patients. Every single one of the women mentioned not being able to drive as being the only part of that restrictive culture that annoyed the hell out of them. The younger guys were mostly supportive of that.
