Abstract
Microscopic examination of the epidermis of wild plants contained in the feces of the dromedary and
ruminants is one of the methods for studying the animal diet. This work is a step to elaborate a reference
catalog of epidermis to determinate the diet of camel and ruminants in the Saharan rang land situated in
Algerian northern Sahara. In this paper, we described the most important epidermal anatomical
characteristics of spontaneous perennial plants and ephemeral (08 species and 03families) grazed on Saharan
rang land, by using an binocular light microscope. From the results, we propose an identification key to these
08 species from their epidermal characters.
