Daucus edulis
Daucus edulis (Portuguese: Cenoura-da-rocha) is a critically endangered species of flowering plant in the celery family Apiaceae. It is endemic to Madeira.
The species is endemic to Madeira Island and Deserta Grande Island and was once native to the Savage Islands. In 2008 its population was estimated to be around 50 individuals in a 226 square kilometres (87 sq mi) area. It extends from the Central Mountain Massif of Madeira and occupies rocky cliffs and terraces with soil accumulations up to 300 metres (980 ft) a.s.l. in Deserta Grande and up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) in Madeira.
