| Abstract | ||
| The current study analyzed the floristic aspects of Wadi Araba, including the present taxa , duration, life-form spectra, and phytochorotype of the plant life in the north –eastern sector of Eastern desert. Floristically, the full wide variety of the recorded flowering plant species inside the gift study is 99, fitting to 82 genera and linked to 29 families. Asteraceae comprises 21 species (21.21%) of the total documented taxa, followed by family Poaceae 10 species (10.10%), Brassicaceae 8 species (8.08%), Chenopodiaceae and Fabaceae 7 species each (7.07%). The common of the reported taxa are therophytes (38%) followed by chamaephytes (32%) then hemicryptophytes (14%) nanophanerophytes (7%) geophytes (4%) and phanerophytes (3%). The least valuable of life forms were documented as helophytes (1%) and parasites (1%). The phyochorotype of the study zone exposed the 40 species (40.40%) of the fully noted taxa was belonging to monoregional Saharo-Sindian element. | ||
