Schouwia purpurea (Forssk.) Schweinf. View in CoL

The native range of this annual species is from North Africa to India, including most countries of the Arabian Peninsula ( Miller & Cope, 1996) . In Oman, it is now recorded from a single location, where it was found on open sedimentary plains in Vachellia tortilis (Forssk.) Galasso & Banfi woodland. Its distribution is confined to the westernmost range of the Western Hajar Mountains. This new record extends its distribution further east in the Arabian Peninsula .
