Three Lotus species are described around Dakhla, of which two have yellow flowers: L. jolyi in the proximity of Imlili and L. assakensis described north-east of the city. Sadly, the photo doesn't help much as leaves are hardly visible.

I would dare to say F. capitata, but I'm not sure it has ever been recorded in this part of the world. The Frankenia species described for Imlili is F. corymbosa.
