| Abstract | ||
| The current study investigates the floristic aspects of three Cyperus species (Cyperus alopecuroides Rottb., C. capitatus Vand and C. laevigatus L.), including a list of plant species, life-span, life-form spectra, and floristic analysis of the plant life in the Deltaic Mediterranean coast and canal bank habitats in the Nile Delta. The total number of the recorded plant species surveyed in the present study was 134 species belonging to 113 genera and related to 35 families. Poaceae comprises 29 species of the total number of listed species, followed by Asteraceae (22 taxon), then Chenopodiaceae (10 taxon), Brassicaceae (7 taxon). Caryophyllaceae (5 species), Cyperaceae, Fabaceae and Polygonaceae were represented by 6 taxon each (4.47%). The additional families (20) had two or one species to represent them. The Deltaic Mediterranean coastal desert habitats have the highest number of Mediterranean component (56 taxon). These elements include 22 species of Pluriregional taxa, 23 species of Biregional taxa and 11 species of Monoregional taxa. In the Canal bank habitat, the number of Mediterranean taxa was 37 species, these taxa were either Pluriregional (22 species), Biregional (14 taxon) or Monoregional (one species). | ||
