Sonchus neriifoliusDistribution
This plant possesses a highly restricted and specialized geographical distribution. It is native to the Southern South American region, specifically within the unique ecosystems of the Juan Fernández Islands. Because its habitat is limited to this remote archipelago, it is considered an endemic species. This isolation means the plant is not found naturally on any mainland territories. Consequently, its survival is closely tied to the specific environmental conditions of these isolated islands.
