In North Africa it is represented by 7 species and one more from the Sinai Peninsula, of Mediterranean distribution. Of these, only <strong>P. caballeroi<\/strong>, <strong>P. purpurea<\/strong> and to some extent <strong>P. antiatlantica<\/strong> can be considered shrubby. The rest of the species are herbaceous, annual or perennial species, sometimes with slightly woody stems, 2 of them with pink flowers, the other 3 with yellow flowers. The species with pink flowers, sometimes of considerable size (up to 1 m), are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>P. herba-venti <\/strong>L., with much larger leaves (10-15 cm long), also sessile near the inflorescence and with long petioles along the rest of the stems; Eurasian species and from NW Africa (Mediterranean areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia).<\/p>\n<p><strong>P. bovei<\/strong> de No\u00e9: it essentially differs by having all leaves with petioles; North African endemic species of Morocco and Algeria, with subsp. <strong>maroccana<\/strong> Maire, endemic to the Middle Atlas.<\/p>\n<p>The species with yellow flowers are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>P. crinita<\/strong> Cav. subsp. <strong>mauritanica <\/strong>(Munby) Murb.: it can neither be considered shrubby, but is very striking for its large size (up to 1.5 m in height), with whitish-lanate leaves on both sides, with long petioles, calyx with 10 veins and yellow-reddish corolla; Iberian-Maghrebi endemic; the subspecies is endemic to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>P. floccosa<\/strong> D.Don: a perennial plant, suffruticose, with basal part of stems somewhat woody and a height of 60(80) cm. Young stems and leaves covered with whitish lanate hairs. It is found on the island of Crete and in North Africa from north-central Tunisia to the N of Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>P. aurea<\/strong> Decne. (<em>Ara<\/em>.: Awarwar, zeheira): also with herbaceous stems but somewhat woody at the base on the oldest specimens, up to 80(100) cm in height. It differs well from other species of the genus by being covered with golden lanate hairs. Endemic species to stony wadis of the Sinai Peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>Rare species (although sometimes locally abundant) and with variable distributions. Currently, they have not been assessed at a global level in the <em>IUCN Red List of Threatened Species<\/em>. In the Livre Rouge de la flore vasculaire du Maroc (Fennane, 2021) <em>P. herba-venti<\/em> y <em>P. crinita<\/em> have been considered as Least Concern (LC) and <em>P. bovei<\/em> as Endangered (EN). In Algeria, <em>P. bovei <\/em>is included in the List of protected non cultivated flora (Executive Decree 12-03 on 4-Jan-2012). In the Red List of vascular plants of Egypt (<em>Flora Aegyptiaca <\/em>Vol 1, 2000), <em>P. aurea <\/em>is listed as \u201cEndangered\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-11191","genus","type-genus","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Phlomis L. - North Africa Trees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Phlomis L. - North Africa Trees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Genus composed of about 110 species, mainly of Palaearctic distribution.
