Endemics and subendemics

Around 30 endemic species and subspecies occur in the north-eastern Limestone Alps. Of these, 21 species occur in Upper Austria. In the area of Kalkalpen National Park , 14 Northeastern Alps endemics (subendemics and endemics) were identified in the course of biotope mapping. Some of the endemics, such as the black margined daisy, the Traunsee bedstraw or the Austrian spurge, are quite common in the national park, while others have only been detected sporadically.
