Abstract

Wetlands are of increasing interest for scientists and managers. Numerous works were carried out on wetland vascular plants from Morocco, but it not obvious to come up with a comprehensive synthesis or an update of the data. To highlight the current state of knowledge on wetland facultative vascular plants from Morocco, a synthesis of previous related works was carried out. Thus, an inventory of 338 plant taxa, belonging to 220 genera and 72 botanical families, has been established. The endemic taxa are represented by 65 species and subspecies. In addition, 58 species and subspecies are included in the IUCN red list. The geographical distribution and, where appropriate, the auto-ecological data have also been reported for each taxon inventoried.
