Talk:Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden

Could someone check the size of the garden?
On this page it says the gardens currently cover about 25,110 hectares having once been up to 37,660 hectares. The French and Italian versions of this page both say 37 hectares, as does another website that I have found.

I suspect that at some point there has been a confusion in translation between a decimal point and a decimal comma. In both French and Italian, 37.661 would be expressed as "37,661" and looking on Google Maps indicates that the smaller figure is much more plausible.

Based on the extra information about some of the garden being converted into an experimental station, I suspect that the current area may be 25.11 hectares, while the French and Italian pages are counting the experimental station still as part of the garden.

If someone knows the best way to check these dimensions, please could they correct the figures as appropriate? Malcius (talk) 16:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
