Partial List of Endemic Plant Taxa<\/h2>\n

The following list is an accounting of the vascular plant taxa endemic to the geographic range covered by Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada<\/i>. This list is a work in progress. With time, we expect to provide a complete list of the endemics. In this list, we provide the names of varieties, subspecies, and species whose natural geographic distributions are restricted to the northeastern U.S. and adjacent Canada.<\/p>\n

The number of vascular plant taxa endemic to northeastern North America is sizeable, but modest compared with the globe\u2019s centers of endemism. The chief reasons for the relatively low rate of endemism of this region are as follows.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Borders of the region are primarily political, not natural. Consequently, few ecoregions in their entirety are encompassed by the region of coverage.<\/li>\n
  2. As a direct result of the lack of natural boundaries for the region of coverage, many species have their range limits extending beyond this region, especially southward in the Appalachian Mountains and northward along the Atlantic coast to Newfoundland.<\/li>\n
  3. Much of the region has been glaciated. Glaciations have made much of the region uninhabitable by plants until relatively recently (relative to geologic time).<\/li>\n
  4. The mountains present in the region are of relatively low elevation. Since elevational diversity provides habitat diversity for plants, lack of much elevational diversity means the region\u2019s habitats are relatively homogeneous, compared with areas having higher and more extensive mountains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
