Appendix A. Genera Present (P) Or Common (C) Distributed in Med-Riparian Regions, With

Appendix A. Genera present (P) or common (C) distributed in med-riparian regions, with indication of their life form (TR: tree, SH: shrub, L: liana) and ecological preference (TER: terrestrial, RIP: riparian). The distribution is highlighted with “*” when the genera is non-native in the region and “**” when there are both native and non native species in the region. References used are regional floristic and vegetation studies (listed below), personal communication of local botanists (J. Amigo Vázquez, M. Ater) and own knowledge by co-authors in their respective areas of work.
