| Summary: | This work consists of a synthesis of previous data in order to establish an updated inventory of the wetland flora of Morocco, increased by state of conservation (risk of extinction), geographical distribution and autoecolgical data. A total of 672 wetland plant species, subspecies, varieties, and forma from Moroccan wetlands are inventoried, corresponding to 92 botanical families. Cyperaceae and Poaceae have the most wetland plant taxa (20.4%), followed by Asteraceae and Fabaceae (13.9%). Of these wetland vascular plant taxa, 16.2% are endemic and 44.8% are on the IUCN Red List. The floristic regions of North Atlantic Morocco and Rif house around 69.6% and 68.5% of wetland vascular flora respectively. The eutrophic wet habitats favour the growth of 32.4% of the taxa inventoried. Three taxa are invasive among some 17 introduced ones. |
