Abstract
Shmari (Arbutus pavarii Pamp) is belonging to the Ericaceae family and natively distributed in AI-Jabal AI-Akhthar area of Libya with an economical and ecological value especially the fruits for their high nutritional value for human, in addition to other multipurposes.
In this study, 12 positions have been chosen that represent the natural distribution of shmari in AI-Jabal AI-Akhthar. Morphological studies were applied on leaves, fruits and flowers, as well as to use of total protein electrophoresis technique and UV absorption spectrum to determine the varieties number of shmari.
The results indicated that there is highly significant differences in length, width and shape of leaves, and there is no significant differences in size and weight of fruits and number of flowers.
The results of total protein electrophoresis on acrylamide gel revealed that there is about three subspecies of shmari in the area of AI-Jabal AI-Akhthar in spite of the presence of morphological multivariation in this species of shrubs.
