Two additional hotspots, the Tropical Andes and the Mediterranean Basin, should be considered as hyper-hot candidates for conservation support in light of their exceptional totals of endemic plants: 20,000 and 13,000, respectively. The Tropical Andes is at the top for endemic vertebrates too, and the Mediterranean third after Sundaland for endemic plants, with 34% more than the fourth hotspot. But they do not rank in more than two of the five factor listings. Similarly, Mesoamerica is second for endemic vertebrates (49% more than the third highest), but it scores only tenth for endemic plants.
