Species
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Few records of this species are known from the UAE. Jongbloed et al. (2003) provided records of this species (as Malcolmia africana) in Ras al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Jebel Hafeet. The only locality in the Ru'us al-Jibal known to G.R. Feulner (in litt, MEW 2010) is within Oman, rather than the UAE. The species is known from adjacent parts of Oman (Jebel Qiwi (Qawha); <a href=""http://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00384215"">RBGE Herbarium</a>: north slope of Jebel Qawah in the Ru'us al-Jibal; coll. R.A. Western, 1988). The global range of this species is around much of the Mediterranean region, through the Arabian Peninsula, and east to Central Asia (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).
