The Plants of the Archipiélago de Revillagigedo
There are 62 plant families identified on the four islands of the Revillagigedo Archipelago: Clarion, Socorro, San Benedicto, and Roca Partida. Before the 2017 expedition to the islands, led by Dr. Jon Rebman, the SDNHM botany collection included 174 voucher specimens for the archipelago. The expedition resulted in our collection growing to 343 species. The islands are administered by the Mexican state of Colima. For more information on the islands see the
