List of endemic plants of Sardinia

Sardinia (Sardegna) is a large island in the Mediterranean Sea, and is home to dozens of endemic species and subspecies of plants.[1] Although it is politically part of Italy, the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions treats Sardinia as distinct botanical country.[2]
