Linum cratericola, the Floreana Flax, is a species of plant in the Linaceae family. It was first discovered in 1966 by Uno Eliasson. Between 1981 and 1997 it was relatively unseen, but a population of 13 individuals was rediscovered at one of the original locations. It is endemic to Ecuador, and is critically endangered.[2] Since, the population has recovered to 400, after protection against goats and feral donkeys was created using fences.[3]
