What are three critically endangered plants?

Answer 1

According to the site listed below:

1. "The Pokemeboy (Acacia anegadensis) is a Critically Endangered species endemic to the small island of Anegada in the British Virgin Islands. The island is under extreme pressure for residential and tourism developments and this has already caused habitat fragmentation and loss. In the past, the tree was used for timber and the resin used as a boat sealant."

2. "Ossiculum aurantiacum is a highly attractive, Critically Endangered orchid endemic to the Cameroon. It has not been seen again in the wild since it was first collected in 1980, despite intensive searching in the area. The recent construction of a road gives greater access to this plant’s only known location and may result in more forest clearance and encroachment agriculture into the area."

3. "Pittosporum tanianum was first discovered in 1988 in New Caledonia. It was thought to have become Extinct in 1992, but in 2002 it was rediscovered and is now listed as Critically Endangered. Three plants are now known to exist, giving this species a tenuous lifeline to avoid extinction. Loss and degradation of its sclerophyllous forest habitat is the main threat to the species."

The site also includes pictures of these and other endangered, critically endangered, and vulnerable species.
