Phytogeogr. value: A sub-West-Saharo-Sindiari spe-
cies, penetrating into the Sudano-Deccanian region.
One of the most prominent shrubs in the saline places of
all the three Saharo-Sindian territories of Palestine (Negueb, the
Lower Jordan Valley, and the southern part of Transjordania,
east of its Med. territory). In Wadi Sarhan (Transjordania) we
recently found a well developed Nitrarietum retusae^ stretching
over many km s.
