Flora of egypt
TLDR
Tackholm and Tackholm as mentioned in this paper presented an accurate and up-to-date taxonomic account of the wild and cultivated flora of Egypt, including the ephemeral flora of the deserts and the mountains and mountain valleys of Sinai and the Elba mountains.Abstract:
THAT Egypt is 'the gift of the Nile' may be true from the point of view of human civilization but such a phrase would be misleading if applied to the plant-life of the country. Even the weed flora of the canals and cultivated land is not uniform, and to this must be added the ephemeral flora of the deserts, and the mountains and mountain valleys of Sinai and the Elba mountains. Many botanists have explored Egypt and much has been published regarding both the wild and cultivated flora. However, the need for an accurate and up-to-date taxonomic account cannot be gainsaid, and the present work* by Mrs. Tackholm and the late Prof. G. Tackholm is intended to meet this need.read more

TL;DR: An updated inventory of the vascular flora alien to Italy, providing details on the occurrence at regional level, is presented in this paper, which includes 1597 species, subspecies, and hybrids, distributed in 725 genera and 152 families; 2 taxa are lycophytes, 11 ferns and fern allies, 33 gymnosperms and 1551 angiosperms.

β-Caryophyllene, a Compound Isolated from the Biblical Balm of Gilead (Commiphora gileadensis), Is a Selective Apoptosis Inducer for Tumor Cell Lines
TL;DR: It is shown that C. gileadensis stems contain an apoptosis inducer that acts, in a selective manner, against tumor cell lines and not against normal cells, which is a potent cytotoxic compound over a wide range of cell lines.

Portulene, a new diterpene from Portulaca oleracea L.
TL;DR: Co-treatment of CCl4 hepatic injured rats with 70% alcohol extract of P. oleracea significantly restored the hepatic marker enzymes and total bilirubin to near-normal values, which demonstrated hepatoprotective activity, and the P. Oleracea extract showed antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Origin of the invasive Arundo donax (Poaceae): a trans-Asian expedition in herbaria
TL;DR: Using an integrative approach, an ancient dispersion of this robust, polyploid and non-fruiting clone is hypothesized from the Middle East to the west, leading to its invasion throughout the Mediterranean Basin.
