 | | According to Mashaly (1987), 50 percent of species in the Deltaic sector are from Mediterranean taxa, 32 percent are from pluri- regional taxa, and 8 percent are from Saharo- Sindian. |
 | | The pluri- regional taxa of this sector are mainly common weeds of cultivation which exhibit a very similar spectrum to that known from the weed populations of the farmlands of the Nile Basin (Cosmopolitan taxa 12 percent, Pantropical taxa 12 percent, and Plalaeotropical taxa 8 percent). |
 | | For the Sinaitic sector, Gibaly (1988) estimated that 45 percent of species are from Mediterranean taxa, 45 percent are from Saharo- Sindian taxa, and a lower fraction of 7 percent are from the pluri - regional taxa including Cosmopolitan, Pantropical, and Palaeotropical species. |
