The islands of Vanuatu are relatively young geologically, having been formed through tectonic activity. They were colonised very early after their formation by plant species that have come from three main sources (northern Melanesia, New Caledonia and Fiji), carried by winds, ocean currents, birds and bats. When Lapita people arrived, they most likely found edible species there. This paper attempts to understand how settlers could have diversified their diets with plants collected directly from the local flora.
The following checklist provides the currently accepted scientific name of Vanuatu’s vascular plants (lycophytes,
ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms). Following each entry, the currently understood distributional status of
each species in provided in square brackets. For the sake of simplicity, autochthonous species (native to Vanuatu
and some other landmass) are labeled “Native”, whereas native plants restricted to Vanuatu are labeled
“Endemic”. “Near endemics” refer to species restricted to Vanuatu and one of two small, adjacent archipelagos

Biological control of weeds in Vanuatu began in 1935, with the introduction of the tingid Teleonemia
scrupulosa to control Lantana camara. To date, nine biological control agents have been intentionally
introduced to control eight weed species. Seven of these agents have established on their respective hosts
while an eighth, Zygogramma bicolorata, an agent for Parthenium hysterophorus has only recently been
released and establishment is unlikely. The fate of a ninth agent, Heteropsylla spinulosa, released for the
