The investigated area comprised of a wide range of habitats namely, waste land, cultivated land, irrigated areas, desert land, salt marshes, edge of cultivation and canal bank. A total of 190 species were recorded in the study area. They include 24 sub-species and 14 varieties belonging to 127 genera and 39 families. The most species-rich families were represented by Poaceae (36 species), Amarnthaceae (26 species), Asteraceae (18 species), Brassicaceae (12 species) and Fabaceae (10 species). Therophytes were the most dominate life-form in the study area represented by 58.5 percent, followed by chamaephytes (20.5%), hemicryptophytes (7.8%), cryptophytes (7.89%), then phanerophytes (4.7%) and parasites 0.5%.
