Endemic plants of Ethiopia:

Preliminary working list to contribute to National plant conservation target

Tesfaye Awas (PhD)

Institute of Biodiversity Conservation, P. O. Box 30726, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia The list of Endemic plants of Ethiopia was produced (Table 1) from published flora

books (Hedberg and Edwards, 1989; Phillips, 1995; Edwards et al., 1995, 1997 and 2000;

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

were considered. Endemicity was considered only at species level and sub-species were

not included in the list. This list could be used for collection of the rare plants of Ethiopia

and contribute to national plant conservation target.
