Flora of Venezuela : ウィキペディア英語版 | Flora of Venezuela
The flora of Venezuela consists of a huge variety of unique plants; around 38% of the estimated 21,000 species of plants found in the country are endemic to Venezuela. Overall, around 48% of Venezuela's land is forested; this includes over 60% of the Venezuelan Amazon. Some of these rainforests are endangered by mining and logging activities.〔(World Rainforest Movement: Venezuela Rainforests )〕〔(Government Plan endangers Imataca Forest )〕 Venezuela's habitats range from the Andes mountains in the west to the Amazon Basin rainforest in the south, via extensive ''llanos'' plains and Caribbean coast in the center and the Orinoco River Delta in the east. They include xeric scrublands in the extreme northwest and coastal mangrove forests in the northeast. Its cloud forests and lowland rainforests are particularly rich, for example hosting over 25,000 species of orchids.〔Dydynski, K; Beech, C (2004). ''(Venezuela )''. Lonely Planet. ISBN 978-1-74104-197-2. Retrieved 10 March 2007. p42〕 These include the ''flor de mayo'' orchid (''Cattleya mossiae''), the national flower. Venezuela's national tree is the ''araguaney'', whose characteristic lushness after the rainy season led novelist Rómulo Gallegos to name it ''«()a primavera de oro de los araguaneyes''» ("the golden spring of the ''araguaneyes''"). ==Line notes==
