The plants in question are grouped within the Kingdom Plantae, that is to say that they make up a vast array of multicellular, non-motile, predominantly eukaryotic organisms autotrophs. Although it seems simple, some species are being considered as “rare plants”, since it is no longer possible to see them in environments where they were very common before. See some examples and the reason behind the change.

rare plants in the world
The rarest plants are those that are difficult to find in nature, that is, that we cannot see so often in our daily lives or even when we look for them. They are usually very beautiful and seem to delight researchers and biologists when they are finally spotted somewhere.
One of the reasons for this rarity status is precisely its beauty. In other words, unusual plants, with a different characteristic that delights the eye, are the most targeted for trade. Another factor is the required condition, as some sprout only in specific temperatures, soils or climates.
See some examples below:
red petunia
It can be found in Brazil. Its main feature is an intense red that resembles hibiscus. Thus, its rarity can be explained by the fact that the species reproduces more easily with other variations of petunias than with the red one.
lady's booties
Found in Europe and East Asia, the lady's bootie resembles a shoe shape, but is a type of orchid. Although there are many types of this species, this one is endangered because of the continuous reduction of its habitat.
vine-jade
This one resembles a banana bunch, but in an intense turquoise blue color. The jade vine is now rare also because of the destruction of its habitat. Today it can only be found in the Philippines.
chocolate-cosmos
The chocolate-cosmos has a color that resembles candy, however it is extinct in the nature over a hundred years ago. In 1902, through the advancement of biotechnology, a clone was reproduced, so the species was again introduced to cultivation. Currently it can be found in Mexico.
Gibraltar Champion
The shape of Gibraltar Campion petals is quite peculiar. You've probably never seen her in person, as all traces of her were gone by 1992. Fortunately a single unit was found in the Gibraltar Nature Reserve about two years later. It began to grow only on rocky soils.
