This study allowed us to define on the one hand the biogeographical criteria, and on the other hand to develop a cartographic sketch of the physiognomy of Lavatera maritima in our study area. This work is devoted to the biogeographical analysis of Lavatera maritima in the Tlemcen Coast (Rachgoune 1 and 2, Béni-saf1 and 2 Oulhassa and Madrid). The biogeographic distribution shows the dominance of the Mediterranean element. A vegetation map can be viewed in different ways, as a physiognomy map showing the present state of vegetation, or as a land use map. The development of a cartographic test of the distribution of Lavatera maritima in the coast of Tlemcen aims to know the current status and range of this plant species.
