Flora of Fujairah Emirate (UAE): new species of ergasiofigophytes in Emirate. Part. 3

During the floristic research in the Emirate of Fujairah (United Arab Emirates, UAE) in 2017–2022, we found species that complement the flora of vascular plants in the Emirate and the UAE as a whole. The article provides data on 15 new ergasiophygophytes – cultivated and running wild plant species, alien to the Emirate of Fujairah: Livistona chinensis (Jacq.) R. Br. ex Mast., Livistona rotundifolia (Lam.) Mast., Washingtonia filifera (Linden ex André) H. Wendl. Ex A. de Bary (Arecaceae), Handroanthus impetiginosum (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos, Spathodea campanulata Beauv., Tabebuia heterophylla Britt., Tabebuia rosea DC., Tecoma × smithii W. Watson, Tecoma stans (L.) Kunth (Bignoniaceae), Canna indica L. (Cannaceae), Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae), Combretum indicum L., Conocarpus erectus L. var. sericeus Griseb., Conocarpus lancifolius Engl. & Diels and Terminalia catappa L. (Combretaceae). Also, most of these species have never been previously listed in the Arabian flora as adventive species.
