Sonchus neriifolius, synonym Dendroseris neriifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.[2] It is a tree with droopy, elongated leaves and small yellow-white flowers. The plant was originally native to Continental Chile but is now endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island. The plant is endangered and very rare: only two specimens are known to exist in a ravine in the eastern part of the island, although there exist other human-cultivated specimens.[3] It is classified as critically endangered by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre.[1]
