Sonchis gandogeri is a plant in the Asteraceae family and is native to the Canary Islands,[2] with its two populations with one in the village of El Golfo and another in the Las Esperillas of El Hierro.[3] Charles-Joseph Marie Pitard first described it in 1909.[4][5] It is currently critically endangered, and its extinction would likely be brought on by environmental or demographic forces.[3] S. pinnatus canariensis and S. hierrensis were probably bred together to create S. gandogeri.[6]
