Endemic plants of Ethiopia - Institute of Biodiversity Conservation

<strong>Endemic</strong> <strong>plants</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ethiopia</strong>:<br />

Preliminary working list to contribute to National plant<br />

conservation target<br />

Tesfaye Awas (PhD)<br />

<strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Biodiversity</strong> <strong>Conservation</strong>, P. O. Box 30726, Addis Ababa, <strong>Ethiopia</strong><br />

The list <strong>of</strong> <strong>Endemic</strong> <strong>plants</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ethiopia</strong> was produced (Table 1) from published flora<br />

books (Hedberg and Edwards, 1989; Phillips, 1995; Edwards et al., 1995, 1997 and 2000;<br />

Hedberg et al., 2003 and 2006; and Mesfin Tadesse, 2004). Only perfectly known species<br />

were considered. <strong>Endemic</strong>ity was considered only at species level and sub-species were<br />

not included in the list. This list could be used for collection <strong>of</strong> the rare <strong>plants</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ethiopia</strong><br />

and contribute to national plant conservation target.<br />
