Roystonea regia
Prior to
European settlement, the
Caribbean was dominated by
forested
ecosystems . The insular Caribbean has been considered a
biodiversity hotspot .
[1] Although
species diversity is lower than on mainland systems,
endemism is high.
Species diversity is highest and endemism is lowest in
Trinidad , which has a predominantly continental flora. Endemism is highest in
Cuba and
Hispaniola , the largest members of the
Greater Antilles .
