Equatorial Guinea hosts around 3,250 plant species within its tropical forests and islands. Its flora is part of the rich Guinean forest system, though few individual flowers are highlighted in available sources. The country is better documented for its wildlife than for specific flowering plants.

  • Part of the Guinean Forests hotspot
  • Flora documented by Madrid's Royal Botanic Garden
