Endemic vascular plants are one of the main biodiversity indicators used to propose priority conservation areas. The richness of endemic species and corrected and weighted endemism are the most frequently used criteria, while anthropogenic or biocultural factors such as ethnobotanical value or ecological vulnerability are seldom considered. This wo...

Peru is the second American country in terms of species richness of the genus Salvia but such diversity seems to be stabilized when compared with that in other American countries with continuous findings of new Salvia species. This is probably an artifact reflecting the need to intensify the study of the genus in the country and several taxonomic n...
