Philippines - Mt. Potato

At the summit of the mountain, a tiny bit of cloud forest remains. It covers only 8 hectares (19.8 acres) - too small to be self-sustaining. In past years, several new species of small mammals have been discovered in this location. If botanists had surveyed the area, how many new plant species could have been found and potentially saved?
