Checklist of the Flora of Wadi Haboonat AI Jabal AI Akhdar (Cyrenaica, Libya) El Rabiai 1G.T. and M. Al tira2 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 WadiHaboon is one of valleys that branchingout northeast ofLibya; reaching 878 m above sea level was fromWadi Al Koof such as other valleys like wadi Al- created as a result of a tectonic elevation of aprimary mlekah, Al-loleb and Shloof. It is about 9 km north-east plain of marine accumulation. It is characterizedby a of Battah and Tolmeita area and about 8 km southeast Mediterranean climate, with cool rainy winter andhot of Ain Al-mlekah. It descended towards the north and dry summer (El-Tantawi, 2005).Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar is empties into the sea in the Al-mlekah Basin. one ofthe four major centers of endemism which holds Material and Methods about50% of the total endemic species in Libya The present work is based on intensive field work upon (Boulos, 1997;Davis et al., 1994).WadiHaboonlies several visits between the periods of 2005 to 2011. The between 21° 08' 42" and 21° 09' 54" E longitudeand 32° plant collections were treated following the general 43'48" and 32° 42' 36" N latitude on the North east Herbarium techniques then deposited in the Cyrenaica region, AI-JabalAlAkhdar . The Wadirises 100 meters Herbarium (CH) at the Botany Department (Sciences above sea level and pours in the basin of "almlekh"on faculty, Benghazi University). the Mediterraneancoast in the Cyrenaica region (Figs. The Checklist A&B). The checklist's family sequence started with gymnosperms followed by the angiosperms, monocots and then the dicots.
