MURCIA, GLORIA ANDREA; GONZALEZ, FAVIO; GARCIA, MARTHA INÉS e LASSO, JAIRO. ANGIOSPERM FLAG SPECIES FOR MANGROVE CONSERVATION IN SAN ANDRÉS ISLAND (COLOMBIA) ARE HIGHLY VULNERABLE AND LOCALLY RARE. Caldasia [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.1, pp.1-16. ISSN 0366-5232. https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v38n1.57818.
The concept of flag species has driven conservation projects for 50 years. Five species native to San Andrés Island are here proposed as flag species for conservation of the few mangrove remnants in the Island: Bontia daphnoides (Myoporaceae), Canella winterana (Canellaceae), Eustoma exaltatum (Gentianaceae), Rhabdadenia biflora (Apocynaceae), and Selenicereus grandiflorus (Cactaceae). Four of these species are documented here for the first time for the Flora of the Archipelago, and three of them represent the first reports for Flora of Colombia, two at a family level (Canellaceae and Myoporaceae).
