List of flowering plants endemic to the Galápagos Islands

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of endemic to the Galápagos Islands angiosperms contains all taxa of angiosperms only on the Galapagos Islands happen there so endemic are. These are 227 of the approximately 1300 native taxa. In addition, there are the five taxa Acacia rorudiana , Cranichis werffii , Euphorbia equisetiformis , Scutia spicata var. Pauciflora and Sesuvium edmondstonii , for which it is not clear whether they are endemic to the Galapagos Islands.

For almost all taxa, according to the criteria of the Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), information on the degree of endangerment is available. The two species Delilia inelegans and Sicyos villosus , first described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1847, are considered to be extinct . They are only known from the type specimen collected by Charles Darwin in 1835 . The third extinct species is blood aparon rigidum . 25 taxa are directly threatened with extinction.
