Amsonia Orientalis
''Amsonia orientalis'', the European bluestar, is a species of flower in the dogbane family. It is found in European Turkey, and may be extirpated from Greece. Other historical populations appear to be lost. It is threatened by habitat loss, collection for ornamental use, and over-harvesting for research. It contains many glycosides and glycoalkaloids, and also has broad antimicrobial activity. ''Amsonia orientalis'' is the only European member of its genus. One other species (''Amsonia elliptica'' (Thunb.) Roem. & Schult.) is found in East Asia, while all the others are native to North America North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere.

Amsonia Kearneyana
''Amsonia kearneyana'' is a rare species of flowering plant in the dogbane family known by the common name Kearney's bluestar. It is native to Arizona, where there is only one native population in the Baboquivari Mountains of Pima County. There may also be a population just south of the border in Sonora, Mexico. The plant was federally listed as an endangered species in 1989.USFWSDetermination of ''Amsonia kearneyana'' to be an endangered species.''Federal Register'' January 19, 1989. At that time the global population of the plant was made up of eight individuals in a riparian canyon. Since that time the plant has been manually propagated in an attempt to increase its numbers. Threats to the tiny native population include habitat destruction from livestock activity and flash floods in the river canyon. Many of the plants cannot reproduce because their seeds are sterile and nonviable, but this is probably due to insect predation on the seeds as they develop.
