Spontaneous medicinal plants in the forests of Saïda (Algeria)

By Mohammed Djebbouri

In this book, we highlight the diversity, taxonomy and threats to medicinal and aromatic plants in forest and pre-forest environments, in order to clear up the ambiguity surrounding certain species, particularly in terms of taxonomy. We have based our work on the 215 phytoecological surveys carried out throughout the forest massifs of the Sa da region, as well as on other observations. We present this inventory in the form of an updated floristic catalog with nomenclatural, chorological and vernacular names. We counted 92 species of spontaneous plants with aromatic and medicinal purposes belonging to 30 families. The results show that these plants belonged to 73 genera and 30 families. Lamiaceae dominate the list with 11 species (13%), followed by Asteraceae, 10 species (12%), and Apiaceae. 02 are regional endemics, and 4 have protected species status.
