There is no endemic Mauritian fruit . Even those growing in the wild are exotic . There is a fruit 'Jean Bourgeois' which grows only near rivers , which could be endemic [I'm not sure] . But it's just a curiosity ,it can't be transplanted to another environment and that would not be worthwhile anyway .
Ameenah Gurib-Fakim ,Ph.D ,Professor at the University of Mauritius has several books published at Edition de l'Ocean Indien and Edition Le Printemps on Mauritian flora .
Refer to these for more accurate information .

It's wrong. I have Jean Bourgeois shrubs which grow very well in my garden even though it is located far from a river. I am in Antananarivo Madagascar
