Grandidier’s Baobob Grandidier’s baobob are extremely rare trees native only to the island nation of Madagascar. The Malagasy people eat the tree’s fruit and produce cooking oil from its seeds, activities that aren’t as big of a threat to the trees as deforestation. Luckily, however, Madagascar’s protected land will triple in size, likely protecting the trees from total extinction.

Sinkholes, characteristic of limestone karst geology, occur when the flow of water in tunnels causes the surface to weaken and collapse, and resulting depressions are colonised by plants. This low-lying example in Tasmania's Vale of Belvoir, has become a permanent waterhole featuring a rare and endangered Poa grassland community.

The sweet fleshy fruit of many different types of lilly pilly were eaten raw by the Cadigal and the early colonists. In fact, the lilly pilly was one of the first edible plants to be noted during Captain Cook’s visit to Australia in 1770. The colonists also made the fruit into jams and summer drinks. This Lilly Pilly is endangered because of clearing of its habitat for agriculture and for housing along the east coast of Australia.

This beautiful flowering shrub is considered endangered in its native Florida panhandle. Lucky for us though, it can be easily found at nurseries specializing in Florida natives. This photo was taken in north central Florida at a garden center (so it is possible this is a hybrid variety). It was heaven to be amid the thousands (millions?) of orange blossoms.
