Abstract

(1) MR. MUSCHLER'S “Flora of Egypt” has grown from the work of Ascherson and Schweinfurth, whose “Illustration de la flora d'Egypte,” published in 1887, was the first modern account of the vegetation of the country. In this work 1215 species were enumerated, and the number was increased in a supplement, issued two years later, to 1316. In the preparation of the present work, Dr. Muschler has had the advantage of the unpublished additional notes by the two veteran workers and also the use of their extensive herbarium. The number of species (of flowering plants and ferns) is brought up to 1505 which, however, includes about 180 cultivated plants.
