#Moroccan flora

• Argan tree — A vernacular genus name, eponym, or old synonymic variant historically used for classifying the argan tree (Argania spinosa), a species endemic to the semi-desert regions of southwestern Morocco. In a structural-botanical sense, the plant features a gnarled trunk, spiny branches, small oval leaves, and drupe-type fruits containing kernels rich in essential oils, serving as a critical ecological resource against desertification and a major source for the cosmetics industry.
