Cover Story: The paper presents the first synthesis of the Sardinian endemic vascular flora, which was updated after checking literature, web sources, and unpublished data from authors and external experts. Sardinia hosts 341 taxa endemic to the Tyrrhenian islands and other biogeographically related territories (15% of the total native flora); 195 taxa are exclusive to Sardinia (8% of the total native flora). Asteraceae and Plumbaginaceae, likewise hemicryptophytes and chamaephytes, are the most representative families and life forms, respectively. Most of the endemics are under the ‘Critically Endangered’, ‘Endangered’, or ‘Least Concern’ IUCN categories. This checklist represents a basis for future studies to support integrated and efficient policies. View this paper
