TAXONOMY OF SCROPHULARIACEAE FROM NARA DESERT, PAKISTAN

RAHMATULLAH QURESHI* AND G.R. BHATTI¹

Abstract: Five plant species of the genera Anticharis, Bacopa, Kickxia and Schweinfurthia were collected from Nara Desert during 1998-2004. They were taxonomically determined and have been described for the first time from this area. Since, these species are narrowly distributed; therefore efforts should be made to conserve them.
