An annotated checklist of the 271 strict-endemic taxa (235 species) and 387 near-endemic (337 vascular plants in Mozambique is provided. Together, these constitute c. 9.3% total currently known flora include five genera (Baptorhachis, Emicocarpus, Gyrodoma, Icuria Micklethwaitia) two (Triceratella Oligophyton).

Abstract Mozambique biodiversity richness plays a pivotal role to achieve the sustainable development of country. However, Mozambique’s flora and fauna diversity still remains broadly unknown poorly documented. To properly address this issue, one strategic needs expressed by Mozambican institutions was national data repository aggregate, manage make available online. Thus, infrastructure for standardisation, aggregation, organisation sharing primary developed. Named “Biodiversity Network...
Successful protected area networks must represent biodiversity across taxonomic groups. However, too often plant species are overlooked in conservation planning, and the resulting areas may, as a result, fail to encompass most important sites for diversity. The Mozambique Tropical Important Plant Areas project sought promote of Mozambique's flora through identification (IPAs). Here, we use Weighted Endemism including Global Endangerment (WEGE) index identify richest rare endemic plants...
