    ABSTRACT
    The aim of our work is to contribute to improving the systematics and faunistic of the genus Phillyrea L. (Lamiales Oleaceae) in the Tlemcen region (Western Algeria). In October 2016, Phillyrea leaves and fruits were collected from different plants at each of the following stations: Beni-Saf, Zarifet and Sidi Yahia. The plant material was prepared in a herbarium and then taken to the laboratory for identification and study also with the help of the known bibliography. Following most of the authors, the samples were attributed to P. angustifolia L. and P. latifolia L. We considered as present in the study area also specimens attributable to the “media” taxon almost always considered synonymous of P. latifolia.
