1 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACY & LIFE SCIENCES (Int. J. of Pharm. Life Sci.) Checklist of the Flora of Wadi Haboonat AI Jabal AI Akhdar (Cyrenaica, Libya) El Rabiai 1 G.T. and M. Al tira 2 1, 2: Botany Department, Science Faculty, Benghazi University, Libya Abstract The flora ofwadihaboonwas studied and analyzed. In this work, a preliminary checklist of the plant species of the Wadi was provided. The investigation revealed the presence of 43 families, 136 genera and 166 species. This information could eventually aid in interpreting changes in populations due to man-made alterations. Key-Words: Libya, Flora, Taxonomy, Wadi Haboon Introduction Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar (Green Mountain), a low to mediummountainous landscape, is located in the northeast oflibya; reaching 878 m above sea level was created as a result of a tectonic elevation of aprimary plain of marine accumulation. It is characterizedby a Mediterranean climate, with cool rainy winter andhot dry summer (El-Tantawi, 2005).Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar is one ofthe four major centers of endemism which holds about50% of the total endemic species in Libya (Boulos, 1997;Davis et al., 1994).WadiHaboonlies between 21 08' 42" and 21 09' 54" E longitudeand 32 43'48" and 32 42' 36" N latitude on the North east region, AI-JabalAlAkhdar. The Wadirises 100 meters above sea level and pours in the basin of "almlekh"on the Mediterraneancoast in the Cyrenaica region (Figs. A&B). * Corresponding Author WadiHaboon is one of valleys that branchingout fromwadi Al Koof such as other valleys like wadi Almlekah, Al-loleb and Shloof. It is about 9 km north-east of Battah and Tolmeita area and about 8 km southeast of Ain Al-mlekah. It descended towards the north and empties into the sea in the Al-mlekah Basin. Material and Methods The present work is based on intensive field work upon several visits between the periods of 2005 to The plant collections were treated following the general Herbarium techniques then deposited in the Cyrenaica Herbarium (CH) at the Botany Department (Sciences faculty, Benghazi University). The Checklist The checklist's family sequence started with gymnosperms followed by the angiosperms, monocots and then the dicots. Genera and species are arranged alphabetically within each family. 4661
