| Morphological characters of Huernia (Asclepiadaceae) play an important role in taxonomic identification. The present work is a revision of the taxonomic relationships based on morphological criteria of Huernia species growing in Wadi Thi-Ghazal or Al-Ghazal in the Al-Shafa region in Al-Taif province (SW Arabia). The objective was describing and scientifically authenticating the exotic species in the study area. The present revision revealed the presence of eight taxa belonging to Huernia from Asir area, three of these taxa were previously described, two are closely related to H. khalidbinsultanii Plowes & McCoy, and three are unresolved taxa. | ||||
