Checklist of the Higher Plants and Ferns

Plants of the National Park of American Samoa

The species lists for the park are maintained by the Pacific Islands Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit (PI CESU) at the University of Hawaii, where the National Park Service is an active member.

You can explore the Plants of the National Park of American Samoa through an illustrated list, with each plant name linked by family. Thumbnail images allow you to click and view larger photos of the species.

Alternatively, browse plant illustrations by family. Hovering over an image may display the plant’s name, and clicking on it will show an enlarged photo.
