The terrestrial flora of the Rotuma island group consists of over
500 species of indigenous and introduced plants. Although the environment of
these islands has been highly modified by the Rotuman people, areas of ancient
forest have survived. We provide here a list of the taxa identified by ourselves
and others from Rotuma in the Bryophyta, Microphyllophyta, Pteridophyta,
Coniferophyta, and Anthophyta
