The present paper reports the first record of the aquatic monocotyledon plant Wolffiella hyalina (Delile) Monod (Lemnaceae) in Saudi Arabia. The species was cited floating on the surface of rainwater‐filled deep mountain pools at Sala Mountain south west of Saudi Arabia. This species has previously only been cited in Africa and India. The present citation, therefore, can be regarded as an addition to the flora of Saudi Arabia (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
