Further species within Arecaceae (Palmae; Coryphoideae) to non-native flora of Tunisia and North Africa
Keywords:
Aliens, Phoenix, Washingtonia, Livistona chinensis, Monocots.Abstract
New records of allochthonous vascular Tunisian flora are here discovered. Reported taxa (Livistona chinensis, Phoenix canariensis, P. reclinata, P. theophrasti and Washingtonia robusta) belong to the subfamily Coryphoideae (Arecaceae). Updated nomenclature, brief description, general and national distributions are provided for each species. Livistona chinensis and Phoenix theophrasti are here reported for the first time in North Africa. Analytical keys are also provided.
