Description
Summary:This work aims to better to know the floral richness of Tell region (Saida, western of Algeria) particular orchid flora. This inventory was started in 2017-2022; It’s based on random samples, in spring and autumn. The surveys directly targeted open areas (Northern Saida). This inventory revealed the presence of 11 orchids including 2 species, 6 subspecies and 2 varieties. The 11 taxa belong to 5 genera: and . Some taxa are rare, endemic and are protected (threatened) by the IUCN Red List as a near threatened species and/or are endemic and protected in Algeria, rare species in the Tell region. A stationary precision made it possible to know the distribution area of each identified taxon. Due to anthropogenic threats, a strategy to protect habitats seems very urgent.
