Abstract

The Flora Palaestina is considered to be a well-studied flora in the Middle East and worldwide. Nevertheless, surveys conducted in recent years have revealed many new findings. This is our second paper to assemble and discuss some of these important findings, reporting 23 new floristic records for the region.
