This report mainly based on field study carried out by the author during 10 years period

between 1990-2000. The more recent studies on flora of Yemen was carried out by a

number of authors, among them the following, (see bibliography for details) 1. Boulos, L. (1988)

2. Diccon, A. & Miller, T. (1998)

3. Gabali, S.A. & Miller, A.G (1992) 4. Gabali, S.A. (1998)

Most publications on vegetation and flora of Yemen and Arabia were utilized to identify

the locality of the species ( see the bibliography ). The author observation and collection of plant species are marked by @

The number from 1 to 9 marks the species mentioned by the above studies.

Endemic plant species of Yemen are marked by * and in Arabia by **.

Yemen's flora is very rich. This study identified a large number of species.Total plant species is about 2810 species , belongs to 1006 genera and 173 families, (2559 naturalized, 121 cultivated and 111 introduced). For more detail information see the table. Yemen is rich in endemic plants, with estimated to be 415 plant species ( 236 in Soqotra ). Constituting some 15% of the flora which does not occur elsewhere.

YEM/97/100 Sustainable Environmental Management Programme contracted Mr. Abdul-Wali Al Khulaidi (MSc in plant ecology) who was identified by AREA and SP 2 Management to prepare the content of this report utilizing his experience and knowledge he accrued while working in the field of plants research and identification in Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, and in Agriculture Research and Extension Authority. This report constitutes a requirement to output of Subprogramme 2 Advise and information in Land Resources Utilization specifically the Genetic Resource Unit, where Yemen Fona and Flora will be documented. The report – though – it is very important step in listing identified plant species; it does not necessarily covers all flora of Yemen. More field and research works will be needed to cover the country climatically and topographical sector which include the main land and the islands. The report in our hands is divided to four sections (1) introduction, which gives background and information on Yemen flora and related issues, (2) checklist of flora identified (3) Bibliography of Natural Resources, (4) List of Herbarium.

The report in its format may not be attractive to the general readers, however it is an important and valuable reference to agriculture and environment libraries and specialized persons. Eng. Mohammed Al-Suneidar Programme Manager YEM/97/100


Introduction Main topographical units of Yemen ( After Al Khulaidi, A.A. & El-Ghouri,M. (1996). 1. Coastal plains:

They extend along the coastal areas of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea and form more than 2000 km along:

A) Western plain (Tihama plain): It is the coastal plain between the Red Sea and the Tihama foot hills. It is about 420 km long and about 50 km wide to the north and about 20 km at the south covering a total area of about 14,700 km2, with corresponds to approximately 2.6% of the area of Yemen. The altitude ranges between 0-300 meter above sea level. It is flat to undulating and intersected by several wadis (e.g. Wadi Mor, Wadi Riam, Wadi Zabid, Wadi Siham, Wadi Rusyan and Wadi Surdud) draining from the escarpment to the sea.

B) Southern and southern east plain:

It is the coastal plain between the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and the mountains. They are about 1580 km long and 10 to 15 km wide in the west and about 60 km in the east, covering about 44240 km2 (approximately 7.9% of the area of Yemen). The altitude ranges between sea level to 200 m. It is flat to undulating and intersected by several wadis (e.g. Wadi Bana, Wadi Hasan, Wadi Ahwar, Wadi Hagr, Wadi Tuban and Wadi Mayfaa).

2. Low altitude mountains:

a) Western mountains (Tihama foot hills): The Tihama foot hills are located between the western lowlands and the escarpment below 1000 m, and range between 300 to 1000 m above the sea level.

The altitude ranges between 400 to 1000 m above the sea level. The main wadi here is Wadi Hadramot.

3. Medium altitude mountains: a) Western mountains: Comprise of the mountains located west of Hajja and al-Mahwit governorates, around Jabel Milhan and Jabel Bura, Thaiz highlands, and mountains located around Madinat Ash Sharq west Huth and west al-Makhadir (Ibb).

b) lowe altitude plains(< 1800m) include those around al-Qaeda, Qa al-Hag and Qa Shihara. 6. Eastern and northern east mountains: a) high altitude mountains > 1800 m. They include the mountains which form the division between the wadis flowing west (Red Sea) and east into the desert, and comprise the mountains east mountain plains of Dhamar and Amran, east and north Rada, between Rada and al-Bayda and between Abyan and al-Bayda. b) Medium altitude mountains (1200-1800 m): These mountains drop several hundred meters into the eastern desert plains and include the mountains east Sada, around and west Marib, north al-Bayda, around Bayhan and north Ataq. 7. Eastern desert: Extend along the northern border of Yemen and drop from 1000 m towards north, east and northern east to less than 500 m, and include the areas east and north Marib and Ramlat assabatein. The flora of Yemen The flora of Yemen is a mixture of the tropical African, Sudanian plant geographical region and the Saharo-Arabian region. The Sudanian element dominates the western mountains and parts of the high land plains which is characteristic by relatively high rain fall. The Saharo-Arabian element dominates in the coastal plains, eastern mountain and the eastern and northern desert plains. A high percentage of Yemen plants belong to tropical African plants of Sudanian regions. Among the Sudanian element species the following may be mentioned: Ficus spp., Acacia mellifera, Grewia villosa, Commiphora spp., Rosa abyssinica, Cadaba farinosa and others. Among the Saharo-Arabian species , the following may be mentioned: Panicum turgidum, Aerva javanica. Zygophyllum simplex, Fagonia indica, Salsola spp., Acacia tortilis, A. hamulos, A. ehrenbergiana, Phoenix dactylifera, Hyphaene thebaica , Capparis decidua, Salvadora persica, Balanites aegyptiaca and many others. The characteristic genera of the Irano-Turanian which occur in the eastern and northern east of the country are: Calligonum spp. Cymbopogon jwarancusa and Tamarix spp. and of the Mediterranean regions are: Teucrium , Lavandula, Juniperus, Brassica and Diplotaxis.
