The paper presents Aspilia kotschyi (Sch.Bip. ex Hochst.) Oliv. (Asteraceae), a newly recorded genus of vascular plants, during the fieldwork in Fayfa region in the Southwest of Saudi Arabia. Flora books and scientific research papers dealing with the flora of Saudi Arabia have not mentioned any species of Aspilia genus. The taxon was found for the first time in Saudi Arabia, which makes a new addition and significant contribution to the flora of Saudi Arabia. The plant was seen near cultivated terraces and collected in September and October 2020 from Fayfa mountains, Jazan province, Southwest of Saudi Arabia. Morphological description, taxonomic remarks, distribution map, plant illustration, and plant photographs are provided.
本文介绍了在沙特阿拉伯西南部费法地区的实地考察中发现的一种新记录的维管植物属——科氏阿斯皮利亚(Aspilia kotschyi (Sch.Bip. ex Hochst.) Oliv.)(菊科)。涉及沙特阿拉伯植物区系的植物志书籍和科研论文均未提及阿斯皮利亚属的任何物种。该分类群首次在沙特阿拉伯被发现,这为沙特阿拉伯的植物区系增添了新成员并做出了重要贡献。这种植物在耕地梯田附近被发现,并于2020年9月和10月从沙特阿拉伯西南部吉赞省的费法山区采集。文中提供了形态描述、分类说明、分布图、植物插图和植物照片。
