Apium bermejoi L.Llorens |
Apium bermejoi is a critically endangered species of flowering plant in the Apiaceae family. It is closely related to the wild form of celery, A. graveolens. A. bermejoi is now endemic to a single location in the northeast part of the island of Minorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain. Across two populations, there are fewer than a hundred individuals surviving. Its natural habitat is Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
