Hazaa plant flourishes in Saudi Arabia's northern deserts
RIYADH: Despite the harsh desert climate in Saudi Arabia's Northern Borders province, native plants have found a way not only to survive but to thrive. Among the local flora is the Hazaa plant, known scientifically as Ducrosia anethifolia. The plant is native to the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and is part of the Apiaceae family of plants, which includes crops and medicinal plants, according to the Saudi Press Agency. Due to its ability to handle high levels of drought and salinity, Hazaa has proved its ability to survive in difficult climatic conditions. The plant is known for its captivating aroma, and reaches a height of approximately 35 centimeters. In addition, its unique appearance comes from its long, oval-shaped gray-green leaves that have sharp points, making the plant easily recognizable among other plants in the wild. Along with its pleasant smell, the plant produces small, light yellow, umbrella-like flowers during the flowering season, with 12 to 18 flowers on each stem. The Northern Borders region is also home to other plant species, including Reseda alba, Salsola tetrandra shrubs and lavender.
