Ítem A combined checklist and ecogeographic conspectus for the vascular flora of Saunders island, Falkland (Malvinas) islands(2000) Broughton, David; Mc Adam, James; Brännström, RagnhildPreviously unpublished data on the vascular flora of Saunders Island in the north-west of the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands archipelago has been synthesised to produce a combined checklist and ecogeographic conspectus for the flora of the island. This checklist represents the first published Flora for any of the individual islands in the archipelago. The flora is a relatively rich one with 170 species present, representing 61% of the Falkland Islands flora. The species count includes ten of the fourteen taxa endemic to the archipelago. The two endemic taxa Gamochaeta antarctica (Hook. f.) Cabrera and Plantago moorei Rahn, previously only known from their type localities, are tentatively identified as being present in the flora. The alien taxa Ribes uva-crispa L. and Sambucas nigra L. are present and represent 'new' additions to the Falkland Islands flora. Ecogeographic studies are predictive and can be used as a guide for future collecting missions, and in determining areas of importance for (a) in sita conservation, and (b) collection for ex situ conservation.
