| The present study deals with the floristic analysis of Karab AlMarashi, Al Jawf, Yemen. Eighty six species belong to 67 genera and 36 families of the vascular plants have been recorded. The dicots are represented by 81 species, while the monocots are represented by 5 species. The family Asteraceae had the highest contributions followed by Asclepiadaceae, Solanaceae, Malvaceae, Apiaceae, Zygophyllaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Lamiaceae. Life form spectra are highly represented by chamaephytes followed by phanerophytes, therophytes, hemicryptophytes and cryptophytes. The pluriregionals species are the highest, followed by the mono-regionals species, while the bi-regionals species were the lowest. The present results proved that the flora of Kharab AlMarashi is species rich and diverse. The generic index is 1.3. Acacia is the largest recorded genus in Kharab AlMarashi. | ||||
