| Abstract | ||
| The show consider gives an examination of the floristic highlights, including list of recorded taxa, chorotype, life-form spectra and floristic investigation of the plant life within the northern portion of the Eastern arid region of Egypt. The recorded plant taxa studied in the region of study was 83 species having a place to 68 genera and 26 families totally. According to their duration these taxa were divided into 3 major classes as follows: 51 perennials, 2 biennials and 30 annuals. The largest families were Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Plantaginceae and Brassicaceae. All these taxa were also separated under 6 types of life forms: therophytes, geophytes, nanophanerophytes, hemicryptophytes, chamaephytes and phanerophyes. Out of the recorded taxa 22 (about 26.50 % of all listed species) were Mediterranean taxa, which either Pluriregional (6 taxa =7.22 %), Biregional (14 taxa =16.86 %) or Monoregional (2 taxa = 2.40 %). It has been also found that, 4 taxa or about 4.81 % of all number of the listed taxa were Cosmopolitan and Neotropical | ||
