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.
