Remarks:
*1 - The herbarium collection of Chenopodiceae specimen, determined by Prof. Freitag (Arbeitsgruppe Morphologie und Systematik der Pflanzen, Gesamthochschule Kassel), has been discussed in detail in: Freitag, H. (1989) Contributions to the Chenopod Flora of Egypt.- Flora 183: 149-173.

Summary:
Additions to the chenopod flora of Egypt are made on base of recent collections done by the author in Lower Egypt and N-Sinai, and by Bornkamm and Kehl in NW and W Egypt. They are completed by studies in Cairo herbarium (...), and for some taxa by investigation of type material. Many new localities contribute to the better knowledge of the respective distributional pattern, and remarks on the ecology and representation of species in different plant communities are given. Several species are recorded for the first time for the mainland of Egypt, e.g. Salsola cyclophylla, S. spinescens and Suaeda palaestina. In many cases critical taxonomic remarks are made, several species described by Forsskal are typified, and new keys for the Egyptian species of the genera Suaeda and Salsola are presented.l
