Abstract
This study, carried out on the associated flora with three species of the genus Fagonia, (Fagonia arabica L., F. cretica L. and F. mollis Delile) including the list of species, life-span and -form spectra as well as chorological analysis in the Western Mediterranean (Med.) coastal area and Wadi-Hagul of Egypt. In 63 survey sites, a total number of 122 plant species (59 annual, one biennial and 62 perennial species) belonging to 98 genera and 28 families formed their floristic composition. Asteraceae, Poaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae and Zygophyllaceae are the largest families. Consistent with life-forms sorting the majority of the registered species are therophytes, chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes. Among the recorded species 46.72% and 24.59% of the total number are Mediterranean and Saharo-Sindian taxa, respectively. The obtained results will be useful for sustainable management of plant diversity in Egypt.
