Flowering species on Antarctica[edit]
Hyperik, thanks for the sources. I tried locating where in the sources reference is made to the two flowering species, but had no luck with the Guinness reference and the other one refers to plants growing on the adjacent islands (Refuge Island and Graham Island, respectively). This raises the question of what is referred to when texts speak of "only two flwering plants in Antarctica" — are we talking about the primary landmass proper or the greater expanse of land, including the islands? If you look at Antarctic realm, the reference is specific to the landmass of Antarctica itself. These sources I believe refer specifically to the landmass proper:

- The WGSRPD has the hierarchy:
- Level 1: 9 Antarctic
- Level 2: 90 Subantarctic Islands
- multiple Level 3 units
- Level 2: 91 Antarctic Continent
- Level 3: ANT Antarctica
- Level 2: 90 Subantarctic Islands
- Level 1: 9 Antarctic
- You can search both the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families and Plants of the World Online for WGSRPD-defined locations; it doesn't matter whether you use 91 Antarctic Continent or ANT Antarctica (WCSP includes the codes, PoWO only uses the words). Using the "Build a checklist" option in the WCSP yields just two species: Deschampsia antarctica and Deschampsia parvula. However, the WCSP doesn't cover all families. Searching Plants of the World Online for "location:Antarctic Continent" yields one additional species, Colobanthus quitensis, a member of the Caryophyllaceae.
