Field Notes

Description:

large bush with clusters of white flowers

Habitat:

spotted in an open area across the road from tourist resorts, whose landscaping includes non-native species so I'm not sure this is native to Sinai as I have never seen it anywhere else...

Reference Links:

Flora of Israel: Ploughmans spikenard
