. The orchid was selected by botanist Emilio Robledo, in representation of the Colombian Academy of History to determine the most representative flowering plant of Colombia. He described it as one of the most beautiful flowers in the world and selected Cattleya trianae as National symbol

of this restricted range specie. The Wax palm was selected as the national tree by the government of Belisario Betancur
and was the first tree officially declared as a protected species in Colombia. C. quindiuense is the only palm that grows at high altitudes and is the tallest monocot in the world.
Colombia has the largest amount of endemisms (species that are not found naturally anywhere else) worldwide. About 10% of the species in the world live in Colombia. Some determinant factors in the distribution range of the species are the weather conditions, temperature
, humidity
and sunlight availability.
Endemics can easily become endangered or extinct
due to their restricted habitat and vulnerability to the actions of man, including the introduction
of new organisms.
