| Abstract | ||
| The current study investigates the floristic aspects of plant communites associated with Astragalus spinosus; including a list of plant species, duration, life-form spectra, and phytochorotype of the plant life in the Western Mediterranean coast and Wadi Hagoul, Eastern Desert. The total number of the documented taxa surveyed in the present work were 97 species belonging to 89 genera and related to 27 families. Asteraceae comprises 21 species, Fabaceae (11 species), Brassicaceae (9 species), Poaceae (10 species), Chenopodiaceae (7 species) and Cayophyllaceae (6 species). The maximum number of species (76) was documented in the inland desert habitat, while the Western Mediterranean coastal desert habitat was represented by 57 species. According to chorotype, the total number of recorded species were Mediterranean taxa and Saharo-Sindian element was highly represented. | ||
