Abstract
Egypt's vast agricultural lands are interconnected by a network of canals and drains, all of which get irrigation water from the Nile River. The aim of this study is to provide a description of the floristic features along the Omom Elbeheira drain, which is located in the Southeast Manzala Lake area of the Nile Delta. The documented number of the recorded species is 38 (26 perennial, 11 annual and one biennial species). The ecological characteristics of these species allow for their separation into four primary categories: a) two species of submerged hydrophytes, b) seven species of floating hydrophytes, c) nine species of emergent species, and d) 22 species of terrestrial species. Full data about the geographical and temporal change in species composition found in hydrophytes and canal bank species, gathered from several sites along the drains.
