Pulicaria incisa
The species was only noted in middle and upper Wadi Handal following the rains of 2005. One flowering specimen was seen, the rest were all shoots or in the pre-flowering stage. One year later several mature but still green individuals were noted in both Wadi Handal and Upper Karkur talh. Several young shoots were observed in the rain affected areas of upper Karkur Talh in 2006.
