英文摘要	The Zygophyllaceae is a widespread family of common existence in arid and semi-arid habitats of the Old and New Worlds, especially in seasonally dry deserts. In the present study, eight species of Zygophyllaceae namely, Fagonia arabica L., Fagonia bruguieri DC., Fagonia cretica L., Fagonia mollis Delile, Zygophyllum aegyptium Hosny, Zygophyllum coccineum L., Zygophyllum decumbens Delile, and Zygophyllum simplex L. were selected. The floristic features and chorological affinities of the selected species with their associates in relation to soil variables were investigated. The sampling was carried out in 38 sampled stands within two types of deserts in Egypt; the inland Eastern desert and the coastal desert of Mediterranean Sea coast. A total of 133 plant species belonging to 29 families and 107 genera were recorded. Asteraceae, Poaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, and Zygophyllaceae were the most species-rich families which represented by approximately 60.15% of the total number of the investigated species. Preponderance of perennials (60%), therophytes (40%) and Saharo-Sindian/ Mediterranean taxa (62%) was remarkable indicating the arid and semi-arid climate of the investigation territory. Based on the importance value, four vegetation groups were identified after the application of TWINSPAN. Group A, was dominated by Zygophyllum aegyptium and represented sand formations habitat; group B, was dominated by Fagonia cretica and represented road-side habitats of the western Mediterranean coastal desert; group C, was dominated by Zygophyllum coccineum and represented Wadi Hagul bed and gravel desert habitats of Suez and group D, was dominated by Pulicaria undulata and represented wadi bed and roadside habitats in Ismailia. Ordination of the vegetation groups along 2 axes was performed using Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA), while Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) exhibited that calcium carbonate, organic carbon, pH, electrical conductivity, chlorides, total nitrogen, total soluble phosphorus and cations (Na, K, Ca & Mg) were the most important soil variables that affecting the abundance of vegetation groups.
