2015-01
EN
We report the discovery of the Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile var. aegyptiaca in Qatar for the first time. According to the national biodiversity reports and national and international literatures, there are no record for the species in Qatar. Also, its presence has not been detected either by locals or experts in Qatar before, although the species present in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, and much of South Asia. We had discovered this species in Ar-Rayyan municipality at a location near Salwa road, 25 km from Doha, 90 km to Qatar–KSA borders (25°11'38.9"N 51°22'32.3"E). However, our findings highlights the need of a comprehensive survey around all Qatar, in order to document the presence of other plant species, and also to complete the catalogue of flora in Qatar.
