Sesuvium revolutifolium Ortega

This largely herbaceous species is native to the Americas, from Mexico to western and central USA ( POWO, 2023). With the exception of Yemen and Oman, it has been recorded throughout the rest of the Arabian Peninsula . This new record extends its distribution further east in the Arabian Peninsula . In Oman, it has been recorded from a farm in Mahdah in western Oman, growing among cultivated crops, and it appears that this is how it has been introduced.
