Abstract
In the current study, floristic components of plant communities associated with Ochradenus baccatus are examined. This includes a recorded list of plant species, duration, life-form spectra, and phytochorotype of taxa in the wadis El-Rashrash in the Eastern Desert. Egypt. The total number of reported plant documented in this paper was 87, which were split into 70 genera and 27 families. Family Asteraceae covers 20 species (22.99%) of the total documented taxa, followed by family Fabaceae and Poaceae 7 species each (8.05%), Chenopodiaceae 6 species (6.90%), Brassicaceae and Zygophyllaceae comprise 5 species each (5.75%), Caryophyllaceae and Plantiginaceae 4 species each (4.60), Asclepiadaceae, Boraginaceae and Polygonaceae each 3 species (3.45%). The remaining (16) families were represented by two or one species. Therophytes account for the bulk of the documented species (37.93%), followed by chamaephytes (32.18%), and hemicryptophytes (13.79%). According to chorotype, the majority of the documented species were Mediterranean taxa, with a strong Saharo/Sindian component
