Abstract
The aim of the present study is to provide an updated checklist of members of the family Chenopodiaceae in Qassim region, Saudi Arabia, a family that has been observed to be well adapted and successfully dominate many parts of this region. A total number of 38 species belonging to 15 genera were encountered in the area. This checklist comprises 28 wild species, 9 weeds of cultivation and one introduced species. This list includes species recently collected from the area in addition to specimens previously deposited at Regional Herbaria. The genus Salsola with 9 species was found to be the most dominant genus in the family in the area, followed by the genus Chenopodium with 5 species. It is hoped that this checklist will be updated continuously in an attempt to contribute to biodiversity assessment and setting strategic plans for land management, especially in arid and semiarid regions.
