Endemic to Brazil, *Joannesia princeps* is threatened by habitat loss ... Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joannesia_princeps> as well as Satish ji has put. If this plant is able to be cultivated elsewhere other then the restricted area, then it is no longer known as endemic.
Thus what is the fact: is *Joannesia princeps* endemic to OR native of Brazil ? Regards. Dinesh On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 4:38 PM, Shiva.N.
