| Georef. Remarks | Many tidal pools exist on the Sinai Peninsula and the islands of the Straits of Tiran leading into the Gulf of Aqaba. It depending when this collection was made. After circa 1960, the islands have been off limits and controlled by the military, so it would be unlikely these specimens were collected there. |
