[Taxacom] North American endemics

[Michael Heads]

I'm interested in local or regional endemics from America north of Mexico whose sister groups are?widespread globally.?So far I know of three, the seagull Larus heermanni, the stick insect Timema, and the plant California, all from in and around California. I'd?be very interested to hear about?any others.
