Abstract
Exemplified by the genus Euphorbia, some approaches to the study of phylogenetic relations of rare and endemic species are discussed to make a scientific basis for the preservation of biological diversity. New data are reported concerning specific processes of evolutionary morphological transformations, ecological and geographic differentiation in some groups of species including rare and endemic taxa.
