    ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY OF ASTERACEAE FROM EL KALA NATIONAL PARK (NORTH-EAST OF ALGERIA)
    (2022-07-11) Klech, A; Boutabia, L; Chefrour, A.
    In order to promote the flora and the ethnobotanical heritage of Algeria, special attention was given to the Asteraceae family. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted among a representative sample of the rural population of El Kala National Park and a total of 360 survey forms have been completed. 20 species divided into 17 genera were listed; also, the study found that the treatment of diseases of the digestive tract is the most common (26.09%). In addition, the leaf is the most used organ (27.03%), and the decoction (29.33%) is the method of preparation most used for the majority of remedies. In the end, the most cited species are: Matricaria chamomilla, Cynara cardunculus, Artemisia herba-alba, Cynara scolymus, Artemisia arborescens, Lactuca sativa, Helminthotheca echioides and Atractylis gummifera

    Floral morphology of Oxalis debilis Kunth, 1822 (Oxalidaceae) naturalized in Algeria
    (2023-05-30) Sakhraoui, N; Essl, F; Chefrour, A.
    This study provides a description of the floral morphology of populations of Oxalis debilis Kunth, 1822 from Algeria. Three floral forms were found: semi-homostylous (dominant), mid-styled (frequent) and short-styled (extremely rare). Two anther colors (yellow and white) were recorded with the dominance of the latter. A few fruits with seeds were observed. We conclude that populations of O. debilis in Algeria are polymorphic with low sexual reproduction success. The species was accidentally introduced into different parts of the country with growing substrates contaminated by bulbs, bulbils and probably also by seeds
