Vanuatu is an archipelago in southwest Pacific that, to date, has no modern its flora, despite fact that it sits midst several other archipelagos known species richness (New Caledonia, Fiji, Solomon Islands, among others). The present study describes our effort establish accepted names apply taxa or thought occur collating data from National Herbarium (PVNH) online databases (including virtual herbaria database compilations), we have developed 1,631 vascular plants, which 1,262 (77.4 %) are putatively native, 360 (22.1 introduced (the distributional status remaining 0.5 % uncertain). Endemics represent 10.1 all (native plus introduced), but 13.1 when considering native only.
