Endemic flora of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao). There is limited taxa restricted to the islands as most species in the region are also present on the Paraguaná and Guajira Peninsulas on the mainland which share the same arid climate.

Listed as endemics in POWO but of questionable taxonomic validity: Lantana hatoensis, Clusia parviflora

Agave vivipara is widely misreported on iNaturalist with thousands of records across the world which all actually pertain to Agave angustifolia and Furcraea hexapetala. Such serves as a great example of the shortcomings of iNat data that hopefully can be addressed sometime in the future.


Endemic to Aruba: Agave arubensis, Agave rutteniae, Melocactus curvispinus koolwijkianus, Melocactus stramineus

Endemic to Curaçao: Sabal antillensis (described 2017, now considered endemic after S. lougheediana was split in 2019)

Endemic to Bonaire: Sabal lougheediana
