Abstract

A field study was conducted in November 2023 in Aden Governorate, Yemen, during which Sesuvium portulacastrum L. was collected from various locations within the governorate. This species is recorded here for the first time in Aden, and this record also represents a new and significant addition to the flora of Yemen, as it had not been previously documented in the country’s vegetation. The study provides a detailed morphological description supported by illustrative photographs, contributing to the understanding of halophytic plant diversity in the region and expanding the known geographical distribution of this species.
