The studied locality in the Rif Mountains is on the riverbank of a watercourse located approximately 40 m from the douar of Beni M’hamed. The riverside vegetation forms a dense and diverse strip along both banks of the Oued. Among the trees, are Cedrus atlantica, Quercus ilex, Ficus carica and Prunus domestica. Among the shrubs, we find Salix pedicellata and Rosa micrantha, while among the herbaceous plants, we observe Mentha villosa and Clinopodium vulgare. The second locality is one of the springs feeding the famous Ouzoud waterfalls in the Middle Atlas. The specimen was collected out in the vegetation cover surrounding the site. The tree species present in the region are: Quercus ilex, Thuja, Pinus halpensis, Juniperus, Ceratonia siliqua. Fruit trees include: Prunus dulcis, Ficus carica, Juglans regia and Olea europaea.	en	Akhrif, Rachida, Aattouch, Khalid, Beni-Eich, Mourad, Beuk, Paul L.
