Define 'endemic' #4
Description
The word 'endemic' has a specialist meaning within plant health* diagnostics.
In normal usage it means that a taxon (usually a species) is found only within a certain area.
wikipedia says:
Endemism is the state of being a species found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.[1] For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be endemic to that particular part of the world.[2] An endemic species can also be referred to as an endemism or in scientific literature as an endemite.
Wikipedia already knows about this though:

It sounds like this is what people are referring to.
If so, we can easily link to this meaning.
