Abstract

Recent field works in the central and southern regions of Saudi Arabia including agricultural centers have managed to collect four vascular plants new to terrestrial and wetland flora of the country. These new additions include one new genus Malvastrum A. Gray (M. coromandelianum) subsp. capitato-spicatum (O. Kuntze) S.R. Hill, Potamogeton perfoliatus L. (Potamogetonaceae), Euphorbia tirucalli L. (Euphorbiaceae) and Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.) L. (Aizoaceae). Detailed morphological description, distribution and habitat of each of these species are provided along with illustrations and photographs. The report of new additions to the flora of Saudi Arabia indicated that the country needs thorough botanical explorations.

摘要

近期在沙特阿拉伯中部和南部地区开展的野外工作，包括在农业中心进行的工作，成功采集到了该国陆地和湿地植物区系中的四种新维管植物。这些新增植物包括一个新属——赛葵属（Malvastrum A. Gray）（直立赛葵（Malvastrum coromandelianum））的头状穗状亚种（capitato-spicatum (O. Kuntze) S.R. Hill）、穿叶眼子菜（Potamogeton perfoliatus L.）（眼子菜科）、绿玉树（Euphorbia tirucalli L.）（大戟科）和海滨猪毛菜（Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.) L.）（番杏科）。文中提供了这些物种各自详细的形态描述、分布及生境信息，并配有插图和照片。沙特阿拉伯植物区系新增植物的报告表明，该国需要进行全面的植物学探索。
