234. Arenaria leptoclados Guss.
FI. Sic. Syn. 11 (1844), p. 824.
Phytogeogr. value: A plant of connection of the
Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian regions, penetrating into the
Eurosibirian-Boreoamerican region.
Generally a segetal or somewhat ruderal species but seems
also to be a component of natural associations. Widely but
sparsely distributed in the Med. parts of western Palestine ;
much rarer in Transjordania. We did not find it at all in the
Saharo-Sindian territories of Palestine; in the Irano-Turanian districts
we collected it only in the environs of Petra in Transjordania. A.
leptoclados prefers somewhat sandy soils.
