Abstract
A brief introduction to a new scientific Herbarium of United Arab Emirates in Fujairah Emirate
is given and a code (FSH) is proposed for it. The Herbarium, which is situated in the quarantine
zone of Wadi Wuraya National Park and Reserve, is based on the 2017–2020 collections made
in Fujairah and neighbouring regions of the UAE and Oman, and currently includes ca. 6000
specimens. It contains up to 80–90% of the species previously listed for Fujairah, as well as
those not previously listed. The article also provides a general summary of the Fujairah flora
and a list of genera and families represented in the Fujairah Scientific Herbarium.
