  abstract = {{A} broad range of climatic and biogeographical conditions are represented in the {F}rench {O}verseas {T}erritories, from sub-polar to equatorial, resulting in a high diversity of endemic species. {W}e mobilized data from herbaria, floras, checklists, literature, the expertise of botanists and plant ecologists to compile the most complete dataset on endemic vascular plants and bryophytes in the 15 {F}rench {O}verseas {T}erritories. {T}o date, 3748 spermatophytes (seed plants), 244 pteridophytes (ferns and lycophytes) and 448 bryophytes are strictly endemic to the overseas territories. {N}ew {C}aledonia, {F}rench {P}olynesia and {R}eunion harbour the highest numbers of strictly endemic species, yet {F}rench {G}uiana and the {F}rench {A}ntilles harbour high numbers of regional endemic species due to their proximity with other territories. {T}he endemic flora of these territories is highly threatened. {I}n particular, 51% of strictly endemic spermatophytes are threatened and many species at risk belong to {R}ubiaceae and {O}rchidaceae families. {A}round 82% and 69% of strict and regional endemic spermatophytes and pteridophytes are found in the {P}aris herbaria. {O}nly 34% of endemic bryophytes have their label information fully databased so that their total number in {P}aris herbaria is not known. {D}atabasing the remaining specimens in the collection will greatly enhance future research and conservation projects. {T}o facilitate the use of the information we compiled, we provide a publicly searchable dataset of the checklist. {T}his study not only provides a picture of the flora of {F}rench overseas territories; it also identifies gaps in knowledge on which future research efforts in systematics, ecology and conservation could focus.},
