There are 30 Galapagos islands and 7 variables in the dataset. The
relationship between the number of plant species and several geographic
variables is of interest. The original dataset contained several missing
values which have been filled for convenience. See the galamiss
dataset for the original version.
The dataset contains the following variables
the number of plant species found on the island
the number of endemic species
the area of the island (km$^2$)
the highest elevation of the island (m)
the distance from the nearest island (km)
the distance from Santa Cruz island (km)
the area of the adjacent island (square km)
