This category contains the native flora of Seychelles as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD).
Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic.
The WGSRPD designation includes the Granitic Seychelles, a group of islands which form the main part of the country Seychelles. These islands sit on the Seychelles Bank and composed mostly of granite derived from ancient continental crust.[1]
Aldabra and Seychelles' other coralline islands – Amirante Islands, Farquhar Group, and Southern Coral Group, (Coëtivy and Île Platte) – which are known as the Outer Islands or Coralline Seychelles, are politically part of Seychelles, but the WGSRPD treats them a separate botanical country, Aldabra.[1] See Category:Flora of Aldabra.
Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries). Use regional categories when taxa have a larger distribution that is approximately coincides by that taxon's distribution (e.g. Category:Flora of the Western Indian Ocean) instead of each subordinate category of that region.
