“…This study can be considered the first study concerning the flora of Aljumum, although some studies have recorded many plant species in the Aljumum area for various research purposes [22,66,67]. The most prevalent families recorded in this study were Fabaceae and Poaceae, which are families with a typical distribution in most ecosystems in the Makkah region according to some studies that were interested in the flora of the western region of Saudi Arabia [68][69][70][71]. The findings of the current study have shown that the locations of C (Osfan), D (Al-Fawara), and E (Wadi Al-Rayan and Ayen-Shams) were the most diverse in general terms of biodiversity assessments.…”

Understanding the natural resources of native flora in a particular area is essential to be able to identify, record, and update existing records concerning the flora of that area, especially medicinal plants. Until recently, there has been very little scientific documentation on the biological diversity of Aljumum flora. The current study aimed to document medicinal plants among the flora of this region and determine the traditional usages that are documented in the literature. In the flowering season from November 2019 to May 2020, we conducted more than 80 field trips to the study area. The results reported 90 species belonging to 79 genera and 34 families in the Aljumum region, which constitute 82 species of medicinal plants from a total of 2253 known species in Saudi Arabia. The most distributed species were Calotropis procera, Panicum turgidum, and Aerva javanica (5.31%); within four endemic families, we found Fabaceae (32.35%), Poaceae (20.58%), and Asteraceae and Brassicaceae (17.64%). The present study reviews a collection of medicinal plants in Aljumum used in ethnomedicine. Additionally, these natural resources should be preserved, and therefore, conservation programs should be established to protect the natural diversity of the plant species in this region with sustainable environmental management.

“…Such is the case for Nicotiana paniculata, N. glauca, and N. plumbaginifolia Viv. that are considered invasive species (Gallo et al 2008;Gairola et al 2016;Rodríguez-Caballero et al 2020;Alharthi et al 2021) Nicotiana rupicola presents a restricted distribution limited to a small portion of the coastal area of northern Chile, where it grows on two locations on easily accessible coastal rocky cliffs at less than 300 m from urbanization. The population from Fuerte Lambert is situated in an area where urban expansion has caused major damage to the vegetation.…”

Nicotiana knightiana is recorded for the first time for the flora of Chile. A new species of Nicotiana, endemic to the coast of the Coquimbo region is described and illustrated. Molecular analysis placed the new species within the N. sect. Paniculatae, as sister to N. cordifolia, an endemic to Juan Fernandez islands. The new species can be considered critically endangered (CR) according to the IUCN categories due to its restricted and fragmented distribution, small population number, and the threat that urbanization and mining activities represent for the conservation of the biodiversity of the area.
