Dendroseris neriifolia is a species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, with droopy, elongated leaves and small yellow-white flowers. The plant was originally native to Chile but is now found only on Robinson Crusoe Island. It has been described as the world's rarest plant: only one specimen is known to exist in the wild, although there exist other human-cultivated specimens.[1] It is classified as critically endangered by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre.[2]
