Abstract
MRS. CROWFOOT'S illustrations of the Anglo-Sudan flowers come at a very opportune moment, when tourists are visiting that country in increasing numbers every year. The 163 outline drawings depict the characteristic leaves, flowers, and fruits of the plants generally met with, and the thumbnail sketches of the outline form of some of the more typical trees are a convenient aid to identification of the common objects of the landscape. Each drawing is accompanied by the botanical name, family, vernacular names, and a few lines descriptive of the plant, with a note as to its general occurrence.
