Rarest Plant In The World

Answer 3

Some of the rarest plants can be found in Australia.
King's Lomatia, Lomatia tasmanica, was only located in the 1930's and wasn't identified until the 1960's in the far southwest wilderness of Tasmania. There are only two small patches of these plants growning in the wild.

Petalochilus tonellii commonly known as Robust Fingers is a very rare orchid than only occurs in Tasmania, Australia. The species exists in extremely low numbers (35-45) in three populations, none exceeding 20 mature individuals. It is listed as critically endangered.

Eucalyptus morrisbyi is a rare and endangered tree species endemic to south-eastern Tasmania. Its common name is Morrisby's Gum. It has two natural populations on the eastern shore of the Derwent River valley

Wollemia nobilis, or the Wollemi Pine is an extremely rare native Australian tree. It was discovered in 1994 in a remote series of gorges near in temperate rainforest. It had certain characteristics of the 200-million-year-old family of plants the Araucariaceae, but was not similar to any living species in the family. Comparison with living and fossilised Araucariaceae proved that it was a member of that family, and it was placed into a new genus with the other extant genera Agathis and Araucaria. Fossils resembling Wollemia and possibly related to it are widespread in Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica, but Wollemia nobilis is the sole living member of its genus. The last known fossils of the genus date from approximately 2 million years ago. It is a living fossil. Fewer than a hundred trees are known to be growing wild, in three localities not far apart

Answer 5

There seem to be a number of contenders for this title. In 1996, Dendroceris nerifolia was down to a single representative, which makes it pretty rare, but I don't know how many are living now. There is a rare goldenrod in Indiana--Solidago shortii--and Snowdonia hawkweed has recently been rediscovered in Wales, after being presumed extinct. The Hawaiian silversword is also regarded as rare--I think you would be good to go with any of these.
