Answer:

There are more than 500 plant species found on the Galapagos, about one-third of which are endemic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Endemic meaning that these plant species are native to the islands and found nowhere else in the world. There are also exclusive species of cotton, guava, passion flower, pepper and tomatoes that all grow there.
