Abstract

Red and blue flowered pimpernels commonly referred toAnagallis arvensis s. 1. were studied in Egypt, Iraq, and adjacent territories. Key, description, taxonomic, chorological, ecological notes, and phytocartograms of the following taxa growing or expected in Egypt are given:Anagallis arvensis L. var.arvensis, A. latifolia L.,A. arvensis L. var.caerulea (L.)Gouan, andA. foemina Mill. New hybridAnagallis×hadidii Chrtek etOsbornová-Kosinová (A. arvensis L. var.arvensis × A. latifolia L.) is described.
