The species is native to Australia and is currently colonizing a disturbed saline oasis in Skoura, province of Ouarzazate, though it might likely occur elsewhere in similar habitats. A brief illustrated description and precise geographical Moroccan location of Maireana brevifolia are presented. The voucher specimen is deposited in the National Herbarium (RAB) of Morocco, at the Scientific Institute of Rabat.

These accessions have been domesticated in the experimental field of Errachidia (southeast of Morocco) before the extraction of their essential oil. This study showed that the yield of essential oil of the domesticated Artemisia herba-alba Asso varies significantly depending on its origin: from 0.35% to 2.35% (expressed in % of the dry plant material). The best yields were recorded for accessions of Idelsane followed by Boudnib. These yields are higher than those reported by Moroccan literature.

Melanoloma) is illustrated and described as a new species, with records in the Oriental Middle-Atlas of Morocco (Bou Naceur mountain). It differs from similar taxa in the section by its peculiar bipinnatisect leaves, which recall some Achillea species.

DC. and is close to <i>C. takredensis</i>, the only species from the section with epappose achenes (Tab. 1). It differs from <i>C. takredensis</i> by the arachnoid bracts especially above, and the middle bracts ended in a spinescent, pinnate, recurvate appendage (Fig. 2 to 5).

The Moroccan government and IFAD implemented in this area an integrated project since 2008. One of the goals of this project was to demonstrate promising rehabilitation methods of rangeland. Assoul, an arid region located in the southeast of Morocco, was one of the communes in which these actions were set. Accordingly, we tried in 2012 to rehabilitate 10 ha of a degraded rangeland using micro-catchment water harvesting in contour ridges lines combined to small trapezoidal bund to establish rosemary seedlings. Over four years, results showed that mortality was of 20% ± 11.6. Rosemary production estimated in the fourth year after the transplantation is of 429 g DM/plant (density 1333 plants/ha). This transplantation permitted also the regeneration of local vegetation. Thus, the Shannon-Weaver diver...
