Flora en Isla de los Estados. Until the present 177 species pertaining to 52 families have been collected in the island. This number represents 27 % of the flora present in the Argentine portion of Land of the Fire composed by 666 species and 89 families (Zuloaga ET al. 1999). It is necessary to remarcar that only 7 species are accidental in the island (4 %) against 114 Land present exotic species of the Fire (17%).
