A bibliometric analysis of 349 scholarly documents published on the topic plant nativity and endemism from 1991–2022 was carried out using ‘bibliometrix’ tool, developed through R programming language. The results revealed a significant increase in number publications research since 1991. Of total that were analyzed, 38 are single authored documents, average per author is 0.278. Each document has received an 33.67 citations, with 3.18 citations year document. relationship between authors articles they have follows power-law distribution. Based Bradford’s law, only eight found to be core sources. Mexico, followed by USA, produced highest endemism. present study suggests it necessary categorize data floristic provinces, not political subdivisions.
