Abstract

Wadi Andur covers the central part of a vast pre-desert area located behind Jabal Samhan (eastern Dhofar). A contribution to the area's flora, of which till now scarce data was available owing to the inaccessibility, is presented. Among the species collected, Schweinfurthia latifolia is new to Oman; Zygophyllum qatarense is new to Dhofar. Other species like Cornulaca monacantha, Farsetia dhofarica, Herniaria maskatensis and Polycarpaea repens are rare in this region. The presence in the Andur area of Boswellia sacra, so far recorded only on the Hasik mountains and on the mountains behind Jibjat, is discussed.

Wadi Andur percorre centralmente una vasta area predesertica situata alle spalle di Jabal Samhan (Dhofar orientale). Viene presentato un contributo alla flora di questa zona sulla quale, date le difficoltà di accesso, si avevano finora scarse conoscenze. Fra le specie raccolte Schweinfurthia latifolia è nuova per l'Oman, Zygophyllum qatarense è nuovo per il Dhofar; altre specie, Cornulaca monacantha, Farsetia dhofarica, Herniaria maskatensis e Polycarpaea repens, sono da considerare rare per questa regione.

Viene discussa anche la presenza nell'area di Andur di Boswellia sacra che finora è risultata presente solo sulle montagne di Hasik e sulle montagne alle spalle di Jibjat.
