Punica, BOT AMICAL 673

75. Punicaceae.

Small trees, with regular, hermaphrodite flowers, calyx-tube
adherent to ovary, lobes valvate in aestivation; petals 5—7, inserted,
with the numerous stamens, on throat of calyx; ovary many-celled,
free; style 1; fruit capsular. — An order separated from Myrtaceae
by valvate calyx-lobes, and leaves without dots, and from Lythraceae
by calyx-tube more or less adherent to ovary.

A small family in Southern-Europe and the Mediterranean region.

370. Puniea L.

Calyx woody-coriaceous, top-shaped, lobes 5—7. Petals 5—7,
lanceolate, corrugated. Stamens very numerous, in many rows.
Ovary with two tiers of cells, the lower consisting of 3, and the
upper of 5 ovules attached to the tumid placentae, on the septa
and walls. Capsule surrounded by a thick crust, crownded by the
persistent, woody calyx-lobes: seeds angular, pulpy; embryo straight,
cotyledons spirally convolute. — Large branching shrubs, or small
trees, with showy, scarlet blossones.

A small genus or only one species in the Mediterranean region.

Flowers generally hermaphrodite. Tube of the calyx adnate
to the ovary, constricted above it. or continuous with the limb and
then elongate-tubular; limb 4—5-partite (rarely 6—8) generally
campanulate; lobes valvate. Petals 0 or 4—5, often small, imbricate
or valvate. Stamens 4—5 (or 8—10 in two rows); filaments

filiform, straight or rarely curved; stigma simple, acute, or obtuse.
rarely truncate or obscurely lobed. Ovules 1 or 2—6, suspended
by a slender funiculus from the top of the cell. Fruit coriaceous
chartaceous or drupaceous; putamen crustaceous or bony, angled or
suleate or 2- or 4—5-winged, 1-seeded. Seed pendulous. Albumen 0.
Kmbryo smooth or sulcate; cotyledons convolute or plicate or contor-
tuplicate, often fleshy and oily; radicle small, superior. — Trees or
shrubs, often scandent, rarely spinose. Leaves opposite or alternate,
rarely verticillate, simple, petiolate, entire. Stipules 0. Flowers in
spikes or racemes, less often paniculate or capitate, bracteate.

A considerable Natural Order, confined to the Tropics, but distributed
in them round the world.

372. Terminalia Linn.

Calyx-tube not produced above the ovary; limb campanulate
or urceolate, 5-cleft. Petals none. Stamens 10, longer than the
calyx. Style filiform. Ovules 2, rarely 3. Fruit ovoid, terete,
angular, compressed or with 2 or 3—5 longitudinal wings. Cotyle-
dons convolute. — Trees or erect shrubs. Leaves alternate or rarely
opposite, usually marked with minute pellucid dots, often only visible
under a strong lens. Flowers hermaphrodite or polygamous, small,
green, white or rarely coloured, sessile in loose spikes, rarely con-
tracted into dense heads, either axillary or clustered on the old
nodes. Calyx-tube usually small and narrow, the limb much broader.

The genus extends over nearly the whole range of the Order, but is
most abundant in Africa and Asia.

965. Terminalia glabra Roxb. Flor. Ind. II (1824), p. 440. —
Aschers.-Schweinf. Ill. Flor. d’Eg., p.75. — Leaves oblong, 10 to
20 em long, 2—5 em broad, abrupt at both ends, slightly hairy on

N. d. Cairo, often cultivated in gardens, scarcely naturalized.

Also known from India.

A great specimen in the Ezbekiye garden at Cairo, from seeds obtained

from Sennar.

77. Myrtaceae.

Calyx-tube adnate to the ovary at the base or up to the insertion
of the stamens; limb more or less divided (usually to the base)
into 4 or 5, very rarely 3 or more than 5, lobes or teeth, or
reduced to a narrow border, or entirely wanting; lobes usually
imbricate or open in the bud. Petals usually as many as calyx-

Myrtaceae, 675

lobes, very much imbricate in the bud, the external one sometimes
larger than the others, but usually all nearly equal when expanded,
sometimes all concrete and falling off in a single operculum, or
rarely entirely wanting. Stamens indefinite, usually numerous or
rarely few and definite, inserted in one or several rows on a disk,
either thin and lining the calyx-tube above the ovary and forming
a thickened ring at its orifice, or thicker and forming a ring close
round the summit of the ovary; filaments free or rarely united
into a ring or tube at the base, or into as many bundles as there
are calyx-lobes; anthers 2-celled, versatile or attached by the base,
the cells opening in longitudinal slits, or rarely in terminal pores.
Ovary inferior or rarely almost superior, but enclosed in the calyx-
tube, sometimes 1-celled, with a placenta attached to the base or
adnate to one side, more frequently 2 or more celled, with the
placentas in the inner angle of each cell, very rarely 1-celled, with
» parietal placentas. Style simple, with a small or a capitate or
peltate, very rarely lobed stigma. Ovules 2 or more to each placenta,
in 2 or more rows, or very rarely solitary, erect pendulous or
laterally attached, anatropous or amphitropous. Fruit inferior, adnate
to the calyx-tube, and crowned by the persistent limb, or marked
by its scar when deciduous, or very rarely half or almost wholly
superior, and surrounded at the base by the persistent calyx-tube,
either capsular and opening loculicidally at the summit, in as many
valves as cells, or indehiscent, dry, and l-seeded, or succulent and
indehiscent. Perfect seeds usually very few or solitary in each
cell, even when the ovules are numerous, or rarely numerous and
perfect; teeth either thin and membranous, or crustaceous, fleshy
or bony. Albumen none or very scanty near the hilum. Embryo
straight or variously curved, fleshy, with minute cotyledons at one
end, or with large, flat, or variously folded cotyledons, or with thick
fleshy distinct or consolidated cotyledons, and an exceedingly short
radicle, or rarely apparently homogeneous, the cotyledons inconspicuous
before germination. Abortive ovules in many capsular genera,
enlarged without being fertilized, and simulating the seeds, but of
a hard, nearly homogeneous, woody, or granular consistence. —
Trees or shrubs, very rarely undershrubs. Leaves simple, entire or
rarely obscurely crenate-toothed, opposite or less frequently alternate,
more or less dotted in all but the Lecythideae, with small resinous
glands, either pellucid or black and superficial, often scarcely visible
when the leaf is thick. Stipules none, or rarely very minute and
fugacious. Flowers solitary or in racemes panicles or cymes, axillary
or apparently terminal from the terminal bud not growing out till
after the flowering is over. Bracts solitary at the base of the
peduncles, or forming an imbricate involucre from the abortion of

the lower flowers. Bracteoles 2 at the base of or on the pedicel,
sometimes very small or abortive, and often exceedingly deciduous.

The fleshy-fruited genera of the Order are widely spread over the
tropical regions both of the New and the Old World, including many of the
largest forest trees.

373. Eucalyptus Linn.

Calyx-tube obconical campanulate or oblong, adnate to the ovary
at the base or rarely to the top, truncate and entire after the falling
off of the operculum or with 4 minute teeth; the orifice closed by
a hemispherical conical or elongated operculum covering the stamens
in the bud and falling off entire when the stamens expand, this
operculum usually simple (formed of the concrete petals?), thin or
more frequently thick, fleshy or woody, the veins longitudinal,
numerous and parallel or rarely anastomosing, the separation from
the calyx-tube usually but not always marked in the bud by a distinet
line; there is also frequently in the very young bud a very thin
membranous external operculum more continuous with the calyx-
tube and very rarely this external one persists nearly as long as
the internal one and is as thick or nearly so. Stamens numerous,
in several series, free or very rarely very shortly united at the base
into 4 clusters; anthers versatile or attached at or close to the base,
the cells parallel and distinct or divergent and confluent at the
apex, opening in longitudinal slits or rarely in terminal pores, the
connective often thickened into a small gland either separating the
cells or behind them when they are contiguous. Ovary inferior,
the summit glabrous, flat, convex or conical, 3—6-celled, with
numerous ovules in each cell, in 2—4 rows, on an adnate or oblong
and peltate axile placenta; style subulate or rarely almost clavate,
with a small truncate capitate or rarely peltate stigma. Fruit
consisting of the more or less enlarged tr uncate calyx-tube enclosing
the capsule, usually of a hard and woody texture and interspersed
with resinous receptacles, the persistent disk usually thin and lining
the orifice of the calyx-tube when the capsule is deeply sunk:
concave, horizontal, convex, or conically projecting, and more or
less contracting the orifice when the capsule is not much shorter
than, as long as, or longer than the calyx-tube; the capsule always
adnate to the calyx-tube although often readily separable from it
when quite ripe and dry, very rarely protruding from the orifice
left by the disk before maturity, but opening at the apex in as
many valves as there are cells, which often protrude, especially
when acuminate by the persistent and split base of the style.
Seeds for the greater part abortive but more or less enlarged,
variously shaped and of a hard apparently uniform texture, one or

very few in each cell perfect, usually ovoid or flattened and ovate
when solitary, variously shaped and angular when more than one
ripen; testa black, dark coloured, or rarely pale, smooth or granular,
not hard, in a few species expanded into a variously-shaped wing;
hilum ventral or lateral. Embryo with broad cordate 2-lobed or
bipartite cotyledons, folded over the straight radicle but otherwise
flat. — Shrubs or trees, attaining sometimes a gigantic size, secreting
more or less of resinous gums, whence their common appellation
of Gum-trees. Leaves in the young saplings of many species, and
perhaps all in some species, horizontal, opposite, sessile, and cordate,
in the adult shrub or tree of most species vertical (or sometimes
horizontal), alternate, petiolate and passing more or less from broadly
ovate to lanceolate acuminate and falcate, always rigid whether
thick or thin, penniveined, the midrib conspicuous; the primary veins
often scarcely perceptible when the leaves are thick; in some species
few, irregular, oblique, and anastomosing and passing through every
gradation from that to numerous parallel diverging or transverse
veins, always converging into an intramarginal vein, either close to
or more or less distant from the edge, the intermediate reticulate
veinlets rarely very prominent, and scarcely any when the primary
veins are closely parallel. Flowers large or small, in umbels or
heads, usually pedunculate, rarely reduced to a single sessile flower,
the peduncles in most species solitary and axillary or lateral (by
the abortion of the floral leaves) either at the base of the year’s
shoot below the leaves or at the end of the older shoot above them.
Bracts and bracteoles when present so early deciduous as only to
have been observed in a very few species.

With the exception of two species extending to Timor, and two or.
three or perhaps one single somewhat doubtful species from the Indian
Archipelago, the Eucalypti are all Australian, and constitute a large portion
of the forest vegetation.

‘Albumen none or exceedingly thin. Embryo usually ovoid; cotyle-
dons plano-convex (except in Trapa), with a very short radicle. —
Herbs, annual or perennial, or, in a few genera not Hgyptian,
shrubs or even trees. Leaves opposite or alternate, without stipules,
entire serrate or very rarely divided. Flowers usually solitary in
the axils, sometimes forming leafy racemes or spikes at the ends
of the branches, often with 2 small bracteoles under the calyx.

EKpilobium. — Jussiaea. 679

Ovary inferior, 4-celled, with numerous ovules in each cell; style
filiform; stigma entire and club-shaped in the Egyptian species,
4-lobed in some others. Capsule elongated, opening loculicidally
in 4 valves from the summit downwards. Seeds small, with a tuft
of long hairs at the end. — Herbs, mostly erect, or with a decum-
bent or creeping base. Leaves opposite or irregularly scattered.
Flowers pink or red, rarely white, solitary in the upper axils or
forming a terminal raceme.

The genus is diffused over nearly the whole globe—from the extreme
Arctic regions of both hemispheres to the tropics. The numerous forms the
species assume in every variety of climate make it exceedingly difficult to
define them upon any certain principle, and botanists seldom agree as to the
number they should admit.

more, inserted with them round the epigynous disk; anthers versatile,
with parallel cells opening longitudinally. Ovary inferior, 2 or more
celled, or very rarely 1-celled by abortion, with 1 anatropous ovule
in each cell, pendulous from the summit. Styles as many as cells,
either distinct erect and afterwards recurved with small terminal
stigmas, or united in a cone, or reduced to a slight protuberance
with as many stigmas as cells radiating on the summit and often
scarcely conspicuous. Fruit more or less drupaceous and indehiscent,
the epicarp succulent, rarely nearly dry and thin, always distinct
from the endocarp, which is hardened into as many 1-seeded pyrenes
as cells of the ovary, usually laterally compressed. Seed pendulous.
testa very thin, albumen the shape of the pyrene, with an even
surface, or rarely ruminate. Embryo minute, near the apex of the
seed, the radical. superior. — Trees, shrubs, or woody climbers,
very rarely (in a few specimens not Egyptian) herbs. Leaves

simple, digitate or pinnately compound, sometimes very large, the
rhachis often articulate, the petiole dilated at the base or the dila-
tations united in an intrapetiolar stipule. Flowers small, often
greenish or purple, in umbels heads or rarely racemes, which are
usually disposed in large terminal racemes or panicles, the umbels
rarely solitary or in compound umbels. Bracts usually small and
often inconspicuous or none. Flowers frequently polygamous, the
ovary entirely abortive in the males, the stamens often smaller or
rarely wanting in the females.

With the exception of a very few species in the temperate regions of
the northern and southern hemispheres, the Order is confined to the tropics
in the New as well as in the Old World. — Generally speaking, Araliaceae
differ from Umbelliferae by their tall shrubby or arborescent habit, large
leaves, paniculate inflorescence, valvate petals, entire disk and drupaceous
fruits, but every one of these characters breaks down in some exceptional
ease, and some have proposed to unite the two Orders.

82. Umbelliferae.

Calyx-tube wholly adnate to the ovary; calyx-teeth 5, often
reduced so as to leave a raised line at the top of the tube, or
obsolete. Petals 5, inserted at the top of the calyx-tube and alter-
nating with its teeth, usually inflected at the tip, with impressed
midrib and emarginate, sometimes unequal; connivent or somewhat
imbricated in bud, rarely valvate. Stamens 5, inserted at the top
of the calyx-tube, and alternating with the petals, glabrous; filaments
slender, distinct, inflected in bud; anthers versatile, with 2 parallel
cells dehiscing longitudinally. Ovary 2-celled; styles 2 (in ab-
normal flowers occasionally 3), simple, glabrous, erect when young,
diverging afterwards, usually persistent, often dilated at the base
(stylopods), distinct from or confluent with an epigynous usually
2-lobed disk, which is placed interior to the stamens. Fruit 2-celled,
glabrous or covered with various kinds of hair, usually separating
into 2 indehiscent 1l-seeded mericarps which are attached near the
apex of their faces (or adjacent sides) to a central axis (carpo-
phore), which usually splits and allows the mericarps to separate
from their medial plane or commissure, or occasionally remains
undivided. In some cases the carpophore is absent, and the fruit
remains united at the commissure. The mericarps are usually
marked by five longitudinal lines (primary ridges), 2 of which are
lateral, corresponding to the external sides of the commissure, 1
dorsal at the middle of the back, and 2 intermediate. Sometimes
4 more lines (secondary ridges) appear on the mericarp alternating
with the primary ridges, and even in some genera are more pro-
minent than the latter. The primary ridges are not always equally
developed, frequently the lateral ones are dilated into wings, and
occasionally the dorsal one, while the rest remain less prominent.
In most genera there are longitudinal lines (vittae), receptacles of
aromatic or pungent resinous oil, either solitary or a few together
inside, or interior to the pericarp alternating with the primary ridges,
and also some on the commissural faces. Seeds pendulous from
the point of attachment to the carpophore. Testa thin; albumen hard;
embryo, minute, near the apex of the seed, straight; radicle superior.
— Herbs, rarely shrubs, very rarely trees, annual, biennial, or
perennial. Leaves alternate or rarely subopposite, frequently decom-
pound, usually membranous; petioles sheathing or amplexicaul at

the base, and usually without separate stipules. Flowers often poly-
gamous, arranged in terminal or lateral, simple or compound umbels,
which in some cases are reduced to capitula. Bracts and bracteoles
usually present, forming respectively the involucres and involucels.

A numerous family, more or less represented nearly all over the globe;
but the species are comparatively few in high northern latitudes, as well as
within the tropics, their great centre being western Asia and the Mediterranean
region. Their inflorescence, and the structure of their flowers, distinguish
them at once from all other families, except that of the Aralias, and these
have either more than 2 styles, or the fruit is a berry. But the subdivision
of Umbellifers into genera is much more difficult, Linnaeus marked out
several which were natural, bat without definite characters to distinguish
them; and the modern genera, founded upon a nice appreciation of minute
differences in the fruit and seed, are often very artificial, or still more
frequently reduced to single species, and as artificial as those of Cruciferae
and Compositae. ‘These minute characters are moreover in many cases very
diffieult to ascertain. I have, therefore, in the following analytical key,
endeavoured to lead to the determination of the species, as far as possible,
by more salient though less obsolute characters, which may suffice in a great
measure for the few Egiptian species, although, even for them, the minute
variations of the fruit cannot be wholly dispensed with. For this purpose
it is essential to have the fruit quite ripe. Js must then be cut across, and
if a horizontal slice is placed under a lens, the general form, the ribs and
furrows of the pericarp, and the vittae, will clearly appear. When the fruit
is described as laterally compressed, this slice is of an oval form, the division
between the carpels being across the narrow diameter; where it is flattened
from front to back, (dorsally) the division is acrous the broadest diameter.
In some other genera, where the fruit is not compressed, the horizontal slice
is orbicular. Where the albumen is furrowed, its transverse section assumes
a more or less half-moon or kidney shape.

rarely breaking up into 2 or 4 valves. Seeds various, frequently
compressed, very often with a tuft of hairs (coma) at one or both
ends, or winged, rarely with a plumose apical or basal awn; testa
coriaceous, crustaceous or membranous. Endosperm, if present,
cartilaginous or fleshy. Embryo straight; cotyledons usually flat,
rarely convolute or contortuplicate; radicle superior. — Trees, erect
or scandent shrubs or perennial (very rarely annual) herbs, more
or less laticiferous. Leaves simple, generally opposite, sometimes
whorled, rarely spirally arranged, entire, pinnatinerved. Stipules, if
present, short, intrapetiolar, and often joining around the stem in
a transverse ridge, very rarely one on each side of the petiole, or
represented by spines. Inflorescences made up of (often much
reduced) cymes, terminal or pseudolateral or truly axillary; cymes
solitary or clustered or gathered in loose or congested, often 2—3-
tomous, panicles, corymbs or pseudo-umbels; bracts usually small
and deciduous. Flowers small to large and then often very showy.

The Order is abundantly represented in the tropical and subtropical
regions of the New and the Old World, with a very few species in the more
temperate districts of the nothern and southern hemispheres, but does not
extend to arctic or high alpine regions. Genera about 120; species nearly
1000. The family includes many poisonous plants, some (as the ordeal-tree
of Madagascar, Tanghinia venenifera) being exceedingly virulent-others are
employed medicinally as drastic purgatives or febrifuges. A few species yield
indiarubber, but on the whole the family is not of much economic importance.
The flowers are often of considerable beauty, and many genera are cultivated
in gardens or greenhouses. The Order is closely allied to Asclepiadeae,
differing chiefly in the indefinite free pollen-granules.

without scales or appendages in the throat alternating with the
lobes. Stamens 5, inserted at the base or near the base of the
corolla, the filaments short, connate or rarely free, the anthers always
connate in a tube (called gynostegium) enclosing the style; anthers
2-celled, or by the subdivision of the cells more or less completely
4-celled; the cells opening inwards, the connectivum produced into
a short, truncate or rarely acute appendage, or more frequently
terminating in an inflexed membrane; corona consisting of variously
shaped glandular membranous or fleshy appendages attached to the
back of the filaments or anthers, sometimes united in a cup or ring,
quite deficient in a few genera: pollen consolidated into 1 or 2
masses in each cell of the ovary, attached (when the anther opens)
in pairs or in fours (1 or 2 from each of the adjoining anthers)
to small processes of the stigma placed between the anthers, and
ultimately detached from the stigma and carrying off the pollen-
masses. Ovary of 2 distinct carpels, with several usually numerous
ovules attached to the inner angle; styles united immediately above
the ovary, and thickened within the anthers into an angular body,
usually called the stigma, although not wholly stigmatic; the summit
in the centre either truncate or more or less protruding in a conical
or elongated, beak-like, entire or 2-lobed process. Fruit of 2 follicles,
or frequently 1 only from the abortion of the other carpel. Seeds
usually pendulous, with a long silky tuft of hairs or coma at the
hilum, compressed, often, bordered; testa usually brown, smooth or
rough; albumen thin; embryo straight; cotyledons foliaceous; radicle
short, superior. — Herbs, with a perennial, sometimes tuberous
rootstock, or more or less woody stock, or shrubs or very rarely
trees. Stems or branches frequently twining; juice usually milky.
Leaves almost always opposite, entire; stipules none or very obscure.
Flowers often small, in racemes of cymes often reduced to umbels,
axillary or more frequently on one side of the branch between the
petioles. Bracts small, at the base of the branches and pedicels;
bracteoles on the pedicels none or very rare and small.

Like Apocynaceae, the Order is abundantly dispersed over the tropical
regions of both the New and the Old World, and represented by a few extra-
tropical species in the southern as well as the northern hemisphere, but does
not extend to arctic or high alpine regions. The Order is nearly allied to
Apocynaceae, but, with a somewhat different habit, it is neatly distinguished
by the definite pollen-masses, and their peculiar adherence to bodies detached
from the style. In determining the species of this Order, it is absolutely
necessary that the number and position (pendulous horizontal or erect) of

these pollen-masses should be carefully studied, and secondly that the con-

figuration of the corona be attended to, for whilst there is a great general
resemblance in the majority of species belonging to very different genera,
the genera themselves are better defined than might have been expected
from characters apparently so artificial.

free. Anthers triangular or oblong, their con-
nectives produced beyond the cells into short
terminal points (apiculate), or into small dilated,

said to be of medicinal importance. The teak (Tectona grandis), the timber
of which is so largely employed for shipbuilding, is the species of most
economic importance. The genera Verbena, Lantana, and Clerodendron
contain several well-known garden plants.

A vast family of about 3300 species, spread over every quarter of the
globe, and readily known from all Sympetals, except Borragineae, by the
4-lobed ovary and the 4 small nuts resembling naked seeds in the bottom
of he calyx; and from Borraginaceae by their opposite leaves, the want of the
fifth stamen, and usually by the more irregular flowers. Most of the species

have also a peculiar strong scent, either highly aromatic in many of our
potherbs, or as disagreeable in several species of Stachys. Distinet, howewer,
as the whole family is, the genera into which it has been divided are much
less so than could be wished. ‘Those especially which are allied to: Stachys
are separated from it by slight differences in the shape of the calyx and
corolla, which are not always easy to appreciate,

Among Labiate genera the European, the sweet Basil (Ocymum),
Lavender (Lavandula), Rosemary (Rosmarinus), Balm (Melissa), Savory
(Satureia), and Hyssop (Hyssopus), are cultivated among culinary potherbs;
several species of Coleus, including the Patchouly, in our hothouses; the

A natural genus, not numerous in species, but widely diffused over the
greater part of the globe without the tropics, and most of the species, from
the variety of situations to which they will adapt themselves. vary so much
as to render their exact definition almost hopeless. Many of them also
propagate so readily from suckers, that individual varieties are perpetuated
so as to assume the appearance of species. Almost all the species vary in
the stamens, in some individuals much longer than the corolla, in others
included within the tube, and often barren; and in several species individuals
occur with all the leaves crisped and cut, and have been published as
distinct, under the names of M. crispa or crispata.

472. (9.) Salvia Linn.

Herbs, or, in some species, shrubs, with the flowers usually in
whorls of 6 or more, forming terminal racemes or spikes, the floral
leaves all or most of them reduced to mere bracts. Calyx 2-lipped,
the upper lip entire or with 3 small teeth, the lower one 2-cleft.
Corolla with the upper lip erect, concave, or arched; the lower
ones spreading, 3-lobed; the middle lobe often notched or divided.
Stamens really 2, although easily mistaken for 4, for the anthers
have a long slender connective, having the appearance of a filament,
fastened by the centre to the very short real filament, and bearing
at one end a perfect anther-cell under the upper lip of the corolla,
and at the other end a small cell, almost always empty, and usually
much deformed.

A very large genus, widely spread over the temperate and warmer
regions of.the globe, although within the tropics the majority of species are
mountain plants. The structure of the stamens readily distinguishes them
from all other Labiatae.

485. (2.) Solanum Linn.

Calyx with 5, rarely with 4 or more than 5 teeth or lobes.
Corolla rotate or very broadly campanulate, with 5 or rarely 4
angles or lobes, folded in the bud. Filaments usually very short,
rarely as long as the anthers; anthers oblong or linear, erect and
connivent, either parallel or more frequently tapering upwards and
forming a cone round the style, opening at the top in pores or
transverse slits, rarely continued down the sides of the anthers,
without any prominent connectivum between the cells. Fruit a
berry, usually 2-celled rarely 4-celled (the cells divided by a spurious
dissepiment) or in species or varieties several-celled. Seeds several,
flattened, with a curved or spiral embryo surrounding a fleshy albumen.
— Herbs shrubs or rarely low soft-wooded trees, either unarmed or
with prickles scattered on the branches, on the principal veins of
the leaves, especially on the upper surface and in some species
also on the inflorescence and calyces, straight and slender in most
Egyptian species, stout and recurved in some others. Leaves alter-
nate, but often in pairs, a smaller one being developed in the axil
of the larger one, entire or irregularly toothed lobed or divided.
Flowers normally in terminal centrifugal cymes; but, owing to the
rapid development of the branch, the inflorescence becomes usually
lateral and very often, by the abortion of one branch, reduced
to a simple unilateral apparently centripetal raceme or to a single
flower. Corolla usually blue purplish or white or in other species
yellow, always tomentose outside in the species where the tomen-
tum is stellate, but usually only on the part exposed in the bud,
with the induplicate margins glabrous. Style frequently curved to
one side, the stigma slightly dilated, entire or 2-lobed.

A very large genus, spread over the warmer and temperate regions of
the globe, but most abundant in tropical America.

842 Solanaceae.

The distinction and determination cf the numerous species of this genus
(most extravagantly multiplied by Dunal in the ‘Prodromus’) is attended
with peculiar difficulties, the chief characters being derived from the very
variable ones of foliage, armature and indumentum.

Genera about 200; species about 2200, cosmopolitan, but most abundant
in temperate regions. ‘I'he medicinal properties of the family are very various.
A few species are purgative, others are adstringent or tonic, a far greater
number are acrid and bitter or even poisonous. ‘The fox-glove (Digitalis)
is the only one largly used medicinally, although many others are ocea-
sionally employed. The family contains many handsome garden - plants,
especially of the genera Calceolaria, Antirrhinum, Pentastemon, Mimulus,
Digitalis, and Veronica. Most of the Egyptian genera have a wide distribution
in both temperate and tropical regions.

enlarged in fruit, equal or slightly unequal. Corolla 2-lipped
spurred or rarely saccate; upper lip erect entire or emarginate to
bifid; lower lip usually much larger than the upper, usually with
a vaulted, often much raised and 2-gibbous palate and a spreading
or deflexed entire, crenulate or lobed margin. Stamens 2; filaments
almost straight or curved, short, often winged on the outer side;
anthers dorsifixed, cells subdistinct or quite confluent; pollen globose,

winged, usually very small, exalbuminous. Embryo undifferentiated,
with or without obscure protuberances (the beginnings of the primary
leaves), rarely with a plumule of 9—12 more or less subulate
primary leaves. — Rootless, aquatic or terrestrial or epiphytic herbs,
nearly always provided with minute bladder-like organs for the
capture and digestion of small organisms; annual or perennial with
or without a resting season; the aquatic species reproducing them-
selves frequently from special resting buds (hibernacles) and the
epiphytic sometimes from tubers. ‘Terrestrial and epiphytic species:
Primary axis developed, terminating with an inflorescence, producing
at the base above the small primary leaves a rosette of foliage-
leaves (rarely a solitary foliage-leaf) and non-axillary stolons, leaves
and stolons showing no definite sequence and passing sometimes
into each other. Stolons groning with inrolled or straight tips,
either developed as rhizoids (growing downwards into the substratum
and resembling roots) or creeping on or close to the surface of the
substratum, often among moss and dwarf herbage, more or less
branching and producing bladders, foliage-leaves and, from certain
of their axils, flowering or barren (and then much stunted) shoots
with a more or less developed basal tuft or rosette of leaves and
stolons. Leaves petioled, normally always entire, linear to orbicular
or reniform, rarely peltate, often decayed at the time of flowering,
frequently producing bladders, stolons or adventitious shoots. Aquatic
species: Primary axis arrested (according to Goebel), producing above
or among the primary leaves one or several stolons. Stolons floating
in still water or creeping on mud, rarely attached to stones and
rocks in running water, often very long, growing with inrolled tips,
branching; branches either all alike and resembling the primary
stolons, producing from the flanks alternate or occasionally sub-
opposite leaves and axillary or juxta-axillary inflorescences or branches
heteromorphic, some of them growing downwards and producing
only much reduced leaves and bladders. Leaves more or less
divided into filiform or capillary segments; primary segments of
the large-leaved species often imitating a whorl or half-whorl of
pinnate leaves (rays), pinnae more or less 2-seriate on the some-
times broadened midrib, usually forked at the base, each division
again divided, 1—2 outer rays sometimes replaced by a hyaline
cordate or reniform or more or less divided auricle, resembling a
stipule; all or certain leaves or the leaves of certain branches pro-
ducing bladders, usually in the place of leaf-segments. Bladders
globose to ovoid, stalked, with an oblique subterminal or subbasal
mouth, closed by a membranous flexible valve and a_ turned-in
thickening (chin) of the lower rim, sometimes produced into an
upper or an upper and Jower lip, ciliate, fimbriate or furnished with

stouter, variously shaped processes (tentacles). Inflorescences race-
mose, bracteate, peduncled, those of certain aquatic species held
above water by a whorl of modified spongy leaves (floats); lower

Cucurbitales.

Herbs or rarely shrubs or trees. Leaves mainly alternate: blades
simple, entire, toothed or lobed. Flowers perfect, monoecious or
dioecius, regular or irregular. Hypanthium well developped, sur-
rounding the ovary and adnate to it. Calyx of usually 5 distinet or
partially united sepals. Corolla of 5 rarely 6 distinct or usually
partially equally or unequally united petals. Androecium of 3—5
stamens or rarely of only one stamen. Anthers distinct or some-
times connate. Gynoecium of 2—5 or rarely more united carpels.
Ovary inferior. Styles united. Fruit a capsule or a berry, sometimes
a pepo.

110. Cucurbitaceae.

Flowers usually unisexual. Calyx-tube adherent to the ovary
and produced above it into a campanulate or tubular 5-toothed or
5-lobed free portion, which forms the whole calyx in the males.
Petals 5, free or united in a lobed corolla, adnate to the free part
of the calyx-tube and usually so confluent with if as to appear
continuous with it between its teeth or lobes. Stamens 3 or 5,
inserted on the calyx-tube below the petals, the filaments free or
united; anthers separate or confluent into a waved or curved mass.
Ovary usually 1-celled when very young, either with 3 or (rarely
4 or 5) parietal placentas soon thickening and meeting in the axis,
dividing into as many or twice as many cells, or with 1 placenta
and remaining 1-celled. Style 1, entire or 3-lobed, or rarely 3

Cucurbitaceae. 933

almost distinct styles; stigmas 3 (rarely 4 or 5), entire or lobed.
Ovules 1 or more to each placenta. Fruit succulent or coriaceous,
often with a hard rind, indehiscent or bursting irregularly or rarely
opening in 3 valves. Seeds usually flat, often obovate or oblong,
without albumen; testa coriaceurs or bony. Embryo straight; coty-
ledons large, usually notched at the base, with a short radicle. —
Herbs weak, prostrate or climbing by means of tendrils arising from
the sides of the stems near the petioles, generally more or less
scabrous or hispid. Leaves alternate, without stipules, usually pal-
mately veined and angular, lobed or divided. Flowers unisexual in
all the Australian genera, on axillary peduncles, the males usually
in racemes or clusters, or sometimes solitary, the females generally
solitary.

A considerable Order, chiefly tropical, and more especially African, with,
but very few species extending into Europe or northern Asia. It is very
easily recognised, as well by its foliage and tendrils as by the structure of
the flowers. The only Order at all allied to it is that of the Passifloraceae
or Passion-flowers, almost all of them American, and chiefly tropical, but of
which some species are well known among our greenhouse or stove plants.
To the Cucurbitaceae belong the Cucumbers, Melons, Watermelons, Gourds,
Pumpkins, Vegetable Marrows, &c., of our gardens, most of them of very
ancient cultivation, but unknown in a wild state.

112. Compositae.

Known by having the flowers in a head, surrounded by an in-
volucre (forming an compound flower of the older botanists), and
syngenesious anthers. — Flowers either perfect, polygamous, or
monoecious, or rarely dioecious, or some neutral. Corolla gamope-
talous (monopetalous). Stamens 5, or sometimes 4, inserted on the
tube of the corolla alternate with its lobes: filaments generally
distinct: anthers syngenesious, i. e. united into a tube. Ovary 1-
celled, with a solitary erect anatropous ovule: style one, 2-cleft or
2-lobed at the apex, the lobes or branches of the styles bearing
stigmas in the form of marginal lines on their inner face. Fruit
an achene. Seed destitute of albumen, filled by the straight embryo.
— Calyx with tube investing and incorporated with the ovary, its
limb either wanting, or in the form of a border or crown, or of
teeth scales, awns, bristles, etc., surmounting, the ovary: it is called
a pappus, whatever be its form or texture. Corolla epigynous, either
strap-saped (ligulate) or tubular; in the former case the 5 or 4
petals of which it is composed are sometimes indicated by thee
teeth or notches at the apex of the ligule or expanded portion: in
the latter case 5-lobed or occasionally 3-lobed, the lobes valvate
in the bud, the veins of the tube forking at the sinuses and bor-
dering the lobes. Anthers 2-celled, introrse, opening on the inner
face; the pollen brushed out of the tube by the lengthening of the
style, some portion of which, or of its branches, in staminiferous
flowers usually is beset externally or tipped with a rough bristly
or papillose surface. Heads homogamous, i. e. with all their flowers
alike or heterogamous, i. e. of more than one sort of flowers. Homo-
gamous heads are sometimes completely liguliflorous, i. e. all the
flowers with strap-shaped or ligulate corolla, and in this case all
bisexual, sometimes discoid, i. e. with no ligulate flowers. Hetero-
gamous heads are commonly radiate, i. e. the outermost or marginal

flowers have enlarged and mostly strap-shaped corollas and are
always female or else neutral: these are called flowers of the
ray, or ray-flowers, or shortly rays: those within are termed flowers
of the disk or disk-flowers. Some heterogamous heads are discoid,
i. e. the marginal-flowers although unlike the central-ones or all
tubular, or at least not developed into rays. The bracts or leaves
of the involucre which surround the head are commonly termed
scales, whatever their texture. ‘The commonly dilated extremity of
the peduncle on which the flowers are inserted is the receptacle.
When the receptacle bears only flowers within the involuere, it is
said to be naked: when there are bracts usually in the form of
chaffy scales (therefor termed paleae. palets or chaff) borne on the
receptacle, mostly one outside of each flower, the receptacle is said
to be paleaceous or chaffy.

An immense family by far the largest of flowering plants, comprising
about 950 genera and 20000 species. It is found in every part of the world,
from the equater to the limits of phaenogamic vegetation in the arctie and
antarctic region, and is equally plentiful in lowland districts and in
mountainous or alpine situations. Although so numerous in species, the
order is far from being proportionately important an economic point of
view. Edible species are singularly few, the chief being the Jerusalem and
common artishoke, lettuce, and cichory. Oils are yielded by the sunflower
and by Madia sativa. The chief medicinal plants are arnica, wormwood,
and camomile. Many ornamental species are cultivated in gardens, as the
various kinds of chrysanthemums, dahlias, cinerarias, asters, sunflowers,
Zinnias, marigolds, ete.; but on the whole it must be confessed that the
majority of the plants composing the order present a weedy and unattractive
appearance. Most of the Egyptian genera are widely distributed, Many weeds
of cultivation belonging to the family have become naturalized in Kgypt.

582. (42.) Chrysanthemum Tournef.

Annual or perennial herbs (or, in some exotic species, shrubs),
with alternate toothed or variously dissected leaves, and radiating
flower-heads, solitary on terminal peduncles, or in corymbs. Involucres
hemispherical, with a few rows of imbricate bracts, more or less
scarious on the edges. Receptacle flat or convex, without scales.
Achenes angular or striate, without any pappus, but sometimes
crowned with a minute raised border. Style nearly that of Senecio.

A considerable genus, extending over Europe, northern and central Asia,
and northern Africa. It has been divided by modern botanists into a number
of small genera, founded upon minute, almost microscopical characters, having
little relation to general habit. Among them Pyrethrum has been the most
generally adopted, although botanists are but little agreed as to the characters
or species which should be assigned to it.

Appendix I.
Botanical Discovery in Kgypt.

The history of botanical discovery in Egypt falls conveniently
into two periods. The first commences with the year 1761, in which
Forskal made his first visit, and closes with the year 1867, in which
Ascherson and Schweinfurth published their: “Aufzdhlung sdmtlicher
zurzeit bekannten Phanerogamen und Gefapkryptogamen aus dem
Gesamtgebiete der Nilldnder’”*). During the hundred and six years
comprised between these dates, many voyages of discovery or sur-
vey in Egypt were undertaken by many botanists. This period may
therefore be appropriately called the period of investigation by visi-
tors from abroad. That period extending from 1865 to the present
time can be just as correctly styled the period of naturalists resident
longtimes in Kgyt.

Commencing with the voyages the first in order of time, as
well as in degree of importance, is Forskal’s visit (1761 —1762).
The natural-history collections contained a large amount of material.
The “lora aegyptiaco-arabica” which has been published after his
death, contained in the descriptions many new species, illustrated
by few plates.

In 1798 an expedition under the command of NapoleonI. arrived
Egypt. The expedition visited the wholy country, when Delile, who
acted botanist, made a splendid collection of plants. The official
record of the voyage, which appeared under the title of “Description
de l’ Egypt” contains a folio Atlas of botanical plates (“Flore d’ Egypte”)
and one volume of descriptive matter (“/lorae aegyptiacae Illustratio”’).

The following years subsequent to the publication of the «Deserip-
tion del Egypt’ formed a period of great activity in botanical research
in Egypt, such as Caillaud, Sieber, Hemprich and Ehrenberg, Sucho,
Brocchi, Acerbi®), Aucher Eloy, Bové, Schimper and Kotschy.

2) His collections has studied and published Visiani: Plantae Aegypti ac

1070 Appendix 1: Botanical Discovery in Egypt.

Figari-Bey was originally a disciple of Vivian and first became
known as botanist from the collections he made during thirty years
in Egypt’). He collected in most parts of Egypt, transmitting copious
suites of specimens to Paris, where they constituted a large part of
the material to the Mragmenta Florulae Aethiopico-Aegyptiacae*) of
Baker Webb published after the author’s death.

In 1846 Edmond Boissier, the well-known botanist of the Orient,
visited Egypt. Some years ago Samartini and Kotschy have botanized
in several parts of both Under- and Upper-Egypt, making several
interesting discoveries.

In 1867 appeared Schweinfurth’s: Beitrage zur Flora Aethiopiens,
containing the “Aufzdhlung sémtlicher zur Zeit bekannten Phanerogamen
und Gefaipkryptogamen aus dem Gesamtgebiete der Nillinder” by Ascher-
son & Schweinfurth. In preparation of their following Standard-work,
in addition to using their own collections, they had the privilege of
examining all the other collections, made by Pfund, Klunzinger, Sicken-
berger, Cramer, Heuser and Suermondt, Volkens, Dejlers, Gaulardot,
Schneider and Hwrst. The number of persons who have collected plants
or published memoirs relating Egypt botany during the following
years which have elapsed since the publication of ‘Bectrdge z. Flora
Aethiopiens” is not so large that I canmot allude to the chief workers
here: Schweinfurth*), Klunzinger*), Comes®), Barbey °®), Schneider “*)
and Hort’).

Finally in 1887 Ascherson and Schweinfurth published their
“Illustration de la Flore d@ Egypt’. This publication gave an immense
impetus tho the study of the indigenous vegetation and it must
always remain the foundation for future systematic work on botany
of Egypt. For the first time the student was provided with an
account of the flora characterized by accuracy of detail, and prepared
by botanists who had not only studied and collected the largest
proportion of the species in their native habitats, but whose position

gave them ample opportunities of examining the material upon which
the publications of their prodecessors were founded. Under such
adventages, the synonyms and false species incorrectly included by
previous writers dissapeared, and the Flora assumed more of its real
proportions and extent. Altogether the Flora contanied 1215 species.
The value of the work is much enchanced by the Introductory
Kssay dealing with the affinities and distribution of the species.

In the same year published Volkens his well-known work: “ive
Flora der aegyptisch-arabischen Wiiste auf Grundlage anatomisch-
physiologischer Forschungen”. The title of this work is as unsuitable
us misdirecting. Above all it is not a Flora, believing that the main
object of such a work is to afford a ready means of determining the
name of any species for the purpose of ulterior study. It deserves
special mention on account of being the first attempt to prepare an
account of the Egyptian Flora from an oecological standpoint.

Since 1889 by far the most important contributions to our
knowledge of the Egyptian Flora have been made by Professor
Sickenberger and I regret that only brief mention can be made of
his work here. In his “Contributions a la Flore d’ Egypte’ (publi-
shed ofter his death by Deflers) he describes with considerable details
of the Flora of this beautiful country. Firstly he attempt te pre-
pare a “Cryptogamic Flora of Egypt’, except the algae which have
been published by myself in the “Mémoires de l'Institut égyptien V
(1908) as: Enumération des Algues marines et d’eau douce obser-
vées jusqu’a ce jour en Egypte”. In 1909 the Rear Admiral Blomfield
published an interesting memoir: ‘Wild flowers around Alexandria”
(in Bull. Alexandria Hortic. Society p. 1—16).

Appendix II.
Phytogeography and Geology.

“Koypt is the gift of the Nile”
Herodotus.

The Nile, which created the valley home of the early Egyptians,
rises three degrees south of the equator, and flowing into the Mediter-
ranean at over thirty one and a half degrees north latitude, it attains
a length of some four thousand miles, and vies with the greatest
rivers of the world in length, if not in volume. In its upper course
the river, emerging from the lakes of equatorial Africa, is known
as the White Nile. Just south of north latitude sixteen at Khartum,
about thirteen hundred and fifty miles from the sea, it receives from
the east an affluent known as the Blue Nile, which is a considerable
mountain torrent, rising in the lofty highlands of Abyssinia. One
hundred and forty miles below the union of the two Niles the
stream is joined by its only other tributary, the Atbara, which is a
freshet not unlike the Blue Nile. It is at Khartum, or just below
it, that the river enters the table land of Nubian sandstone, under-
lying the Great Sahara. Here it winds on its tortuous course bet-
ween the desert hills, where it returns upon itself, often flowing due
south, until after it has finally pushed through to the north, its
course describes a vast S.

In six different places throughout this region the current has
hitherto failed to erode a perfect channel through the stubborn
stone, and these extended interruptions, where the rocks are piled
in scattered and irregular masses in the stream, are known as the
cataracts of the Nile. These rocks interfere with navigation most
seriously in the region of the first, second and fourth cataracts;
otherwise the river is navigable almost throughout its entire course.
At Elephantine it passes the granite barrier which there thrusts up
its rough shoulder, forming the first cataract, and thence emerges
upon an unobstructed course to the sea.

It is the valley below the first cataract which constituted Egypt
proper. The reason for the change which here gives the river a free

Appendix II: Phytogeography and Geology. 1073

course is the disappearance of the sandstone, sixty eight miles below
the cataract, at Edfu, where the nummulitic limestone which forms
the northern desert plateau, offers the stream an easier task in the
erosion of its bed. It has thus produced a vast canon, cut across
the eastern end of the Sahara to the northern sea. From cliff to
cliff, the valley varies in width, from ten or twelve, to some thirty
one miles. The floor of the cation is covered with black, alluvial
‘deposits, through which the river winds northward. It cuts a deep
channel through the alluvium, flowing with a speed of about three
miles an hour; in width it only twice attains a maximum of eleven
hundred yards. So far its course is the same as in old times, but
a considerable change now takes place; for whereas formerly it
discharged itself into the sea by seven mouths, at the present day
these are reduced to two. The point of separation, which constitutes
the apex at the Delta, has remained about the same. Its ancient
name appears to have been Cercasorus, the modern representative
of which may be placed at a point, opposite Shubra. Here the river
anciently divided into three branches, the Pelusiac, running Kast,
the Kanopicrunning West and the Sebennytic which flowed between
these two, continuing in deed the general northward direction hitherto
taken by the Nil and piercing the Delta through the centre. From
this Sebennytic branch two others were derived, the Tunitic and the
Mendesian, both of which emptied themselves between it and the
Pelusiac branch. The lower parts of the remaining two branches,
the Bolbitine and the Phatmitie, were artificial, and were constructed
probably when the other outlets began to dry up. It is by these
two mouths that the river at the present day finds its outlet. At
the point of bifurcation the general direction of the two streams is
probably that of the old Pelusiac and Kanopic branches, but they
gradually quit the extreme EK. and W. course, and continue more
in the centre of the Delta, the one to Damietta, and the other to

Phytogeographically Egypt belongs to the “North African-Indian-
Desert Province”. The part on the western side of the Nile belongs
to Engler’s?) “Province of the Great Sahara’, that on the eastern
side of the Nile formed the “Egyptian-Arabian Province’. No more
striking contrast can be imagined than that between the intensely
cultivated Valley of the Nile and the barren deserts on either side. In
citing the several localities for each species, it has appeared expe-
dient to arrange them under five phytogeogravical regions, into which
the large area embraced by this Flora has been divided?). These are:

Mediterranean-Region. (M.) including under this term the

Coast region from Marmarica to El-‘Arish, the sandy foreshore bet-

ween the alluvial soil and the Sea. This region is divided into

two parts, an western (M. ma.) marmari¢ subregion, which extends
from Marmarica to Abukir, and an eastern pelusiac subregion

(M. p.) which extends from Abukir to El-‘Arish.

Nile-Delta-Region. (N.) comprises the cultivable land. This

region is divided into four subregions. These are:

1. The Nile-Delta (N. d.) which is 100 miles broad at its Medi-
terranean base, but narrows to about 10 miles at its head
below Cairo.

2. The Fayim (N. f.) the quasi-oasis, on the left bank of the
river, which measures about 30 miles from North to South,
and 40 miles from Hast to West.

3. The narrower alluvial Nile-Valley (N. v.) the alluvial soil
from Cairo to Aswan, called by the Arabs Er-Rif.

rocky ground. 3

these are:

1. W. of the Nile. 1. Libyan Desert. (D. 1.)

2. E. of the Nile. 2. Isthmie Desert. (D. i.) — Extends from
the Mediterranean-Seashores and the eastern limits of Egypt
to the Wady Tumilat.

3. Northern Arabian-Desert. (D. a. sept.). — Extends from
Wady Tumilat to the Kene-Qoseyr-Road.
4. Southern Arabian-Desert. (D. a. mer.). — Hxtends from the

Kene-Qoseyr road to the Southern limits of Egypt.
Red-Sea-Region. (R.) — The sea-shores along the Red-Sea.

With these remarks on the general botany of Egypt, we will

proceed to the consideration of each of the five regions above in-
dicaded.

I. Mediterranean-Region.

distance of about 18 miles and the line of the coast itself is not
discernible till within 13 or 14 miles. Within the area no rock
appears except the limestone of Alexandria which forms a low ridge
in this part of the coast and extends westwards as a low line of
hills parallel to the shore. Hast of Abukir it does not appear and
the rest of the coast is formed of fine sand brought down partly
by the Nile, on which are sand duwes formed by the northerly
winds. The climatic conditions present two types since in winter those
of the Mediterranean province extend over the whole of it, while in
summer the Saharan type predominates except in a comperatively
narrow belt near the coast'). The rainfall is heavy and a valuable
crop of barley is cultivated by the Arabs on the belt of country
lying near the shore of the Mediterranean and the ruins of numerous
cisterns, dams and other ancient buildings show how extensively
cultivation was formerly carried on by artificially storing the winter
rainfall.

Althoug interesting plants may be found in flower or fruit at
nearly all seasons of the year, the flowering one par excellence may
be said to begin at the end of December after the autumn and
winter rains; the precocity and abundance of desert flowers naturally
depends on whether the rains have begun early (November) and on
the amount which has fallen, the average rainfall being a little
under 22,5 cm. Among the earliest species in flower is the desert
saffron (Colchicum Ritchii) very abundant. In the same localities
and season (January) we see patches of sand covered with the
“monk?s-cowl arum” (Arisarum vulgare var. Veslingii) striped with
white green and purple, and, less commonly the Biarum Olivier with
narrow wavy leaves. At the same time appears. on the sand Mal-
colma pygmaea. Narzissus Tazelta is tolerably plentiful on the
Lake side of the Khedivial railway”). On the sea-side the crown-
anemone is still more abundant. At the end of January the frag-
ment dwarf stock (Matthiola acaulis) begins to cover the waysides
both E. and W. of the area. A. little later the ice plant, Mesembry-
anthemum erystalliinum covers portions of the desert and open their-
starry white flowers at noon. By the first weak in March the desert
is already becoming gay with annuals amongst the earliest of which
is the ubiquitous little Zrigonella maritima. One of the most showy
desert plants occasionally found by the seashore, parasitic on the
roots of the goosefoot family is the “golden broom rape” (Cistanche
lutea) with dense clusters of large snapdragon like flowers of a

lemon-yellow colour, highly ornamental. Ad/iwm rosewn and Muscari
comosum adorn every barley field with the common poppies (Papaver
rhoeas). Quite a feature in the Mariut Flora is the handsome
Phlomis fruticosa with soft leaves and whorls of large yellow flowers,
whilst a beautiful blue corn (Centawrea crupinoides) is occasionally
to be met with. A not uncommon and interesting plant of “bean-
caper family” is a creeper, Magonia cretica with intricately branched
trefoil leaves, prickly stipules and pretty purple flowers of the size
of a half piastre. A prostrate woolly annual, Newrada procumbens —
with solitary flowers and curious fleshy fruit, which for long puzzled
scientific botanists as to what order it should be placed in and has

at length been included among osaceae, with which family the
amateur would not dream of associating it, is not uncommon. The
interesting Helicophyllum erassipes with a deep-purple spathe and
large pedate roots is frequent at Mex and Mariut; the roots are
eaten like potatoes, by the Bedouins.

Il. Nile-Delta-Region.
a) N. d.

We now come to the Delta of the Nile, the last stage of the
river Nile where its bed is eroded down to and even below the
base level the sea, and where under conditions, deposition is at its
maximum?) It may be conveniently considered to begin below
Cairo, and although to-day the first bifurcation takes places at the
Delta-Barrage, 26 kilometres down-stream, it is certain, that in earlier
times an important branch took off about 7 kilometres below Cairo which
supplied the ancient Pelusiac and Tanitic arms. In modern times so
much has been done in the canalization of the Delta that it is difficult
to distinguish with certainity between river arms and artifical canals,
especially as an existing water-way include lengths of both in its course.

The Nile-Delta measures about 250 kilometres from Mex, to
the west of Alexandria, to the shore of lake Menzale a little to the
east of Port Said, and about 175 kilometres from Cairo on the
south to Brullus light-house on the north covering an area of about
23,900 square kilometres, including the lakes of Mariut, Edku, Brullus
and Menzale, the small lake of Abukir having been now entirely
reclaimed. The approximate areas of the lakes are: -

Within the area of the Delta no rock appears except the lime-
stone of Alexandria, the rest of the Delta is formed of the alluvial
mud and fine sand brought down by the Nile. The alluvial mud
and sand of the Delta rests upon a thick deposit of yellow quartz
sands of varying coarness which include also layers of gravel masses
of stiff clay. The thickness of the Nile mud varies considerably
from point to point. The following table gives the thickness of it
as found in recent well borings”).

The climatic conditions of the Delta present two types since
in winter those of the Mediterranean province extend over the whole
of it, while in summer the Saharan type predominates except in a
comparatively narrow belt near the coast. Observations are not
numerous and Alexandria and Port Said on the north, and Cairo
on the south furnish the only series of any length. The passage
from the moister conditions of the cultivated area to the aridity of
the desert is shown by Ismailia and Suez on the east and a short
series from Wady Natrum on the west.

The rainfall is ight and is not of much importance in most parts -
except that near Alexandria the winter rainfall is counted upon to some
extent to supply a certain amount of water while the supply canals are
temporarly closed for cleaning. To the west of Alexandria the rainfall
is heavier and a valuable crop of barley is cultivated by the Arabs
on the belt of country lying near the shore of the Mediterranean.

The quantity of rain wich has been recorded in each month at

It has been persistently stated that the improved irrigation of
recent years in Hgypt and the consequent extension of cultivation
had modified the climate, rendering it cooler in summer, colder in
winter and increasing the humidity and rainfall. ‘The principal
change which has taken place in agriculture is the great deve-
lopment of summer cultivation before the arrival of the flood,
which has been rendered possible by the repair of the Delta
Barrage and by the construction of the Zifta and Assiut Barrages
and the Aswan dam.

b) The Fayam (N. f.)').

The Fayim, a large circular depression in the Libyan Desert,
is situated immediately west of that part of the Nile Valley lying
between Kafr-el-Ayat and Feshn. The depression, which has an
area, roughly speaking, of 12000 square kilometres, is primarily
divisible into three distinct parts: cultivated, lake, and desert. The
cultivated land has an area of about 1800 square kilometres and,
with the exception of the lake and part of the Wady Rayan, occupies
the lowest part of the depression. Cultivation is necessarily strictly
limited to the area covered with alluvial soil. The cultivated land
of the Fayim is directly connected with that of the Nile Valley by
a narrow strip of low ground, a natural passage through the desert
separating the Nile Valley and the depression of the Fayim. Through
this gap runs the natural canal known as the Bahr Yussuf, which is
practically the sole source of water in the Faytim and irrigates the
entire district”).

The cultivated land of the Fayim is traversed by two main
ravines, cut down in many places to the Eocene limestone below
the alluvium. At the present time these ravines carry canals for
irrigating the lower parts of the district, and also act largely as
drains to the higher lands. In addition to the main central cultivated
area, the soil of which, as mentioned above, is essentially identical
with that of the Nile Valley, large tracts of the surrounding counntry,
more especially on the north, north-west, and west sides, are also
covered with alluvial deposits. These latter, which include sands,
sandy clays, and clays of a quite distinct type, represent the slowly
formed accumulations of the quieter and more remote parts of the
acient Lake Moeris. ‘The material was mostly derived from the
Kocene strata which formed the shores of the lake, augmented
no doubt by a certain amount of very fine sediment drifted from the
Bahr Yussuf, and by sand blown in by wind. The construction
during recent years of extensive irrigation works in the Nile Valley
has made it possible to largely augment the water-supply of the
Bahr Yussuf to the Fayim. High level canals are being cut in
various parts of the district and abready large areas of desert covered
by these lacustrine deposits have been brought under cultivation,
notably to the north of Tamia and in the neighbourhood of Qasr
Qurtn.

The lowest part of the depression, lying immediately to the
north-west of the cultivation, is occupied by a sheet of water of

considerable size, known as Birket-el-Quriim. The lake, which has
a length of 40 kilometres, and a maximum breadth under ten,
covers at the present time an area of about 225 square kilometres.
It is entirely bordered by desert, along a large part of the southern
side the cultivated land approaches its shore, although even here a
large area actually bordering the lake is waste salty land as yet
unfit for cultivation. Lake Moeris, being used as a regulator of
excessively high and low Nile floods’), was of the greatest importance
in connection with the irrigation of the Nile Valley.

The phenomenon of the extraordinary freshness of the water of
the Birket-el-Qurin has been commented on by Professor Schwein-
furth, who shows that the degree of concentration of salt in a lake
whose volume has been continually reduced, and to which salt has
constantly been added, should be many times greater than the actual
existing amount. An analysis”) of the water at the west end of
the lake showed that the total salts amounted to only 1,34°/,,
of which 0,92°/, was sodium chloride. Professor Schweinfurth
coucludes that the lake has a subterranean outlet, which alone would
enable it to maintain its comparative freschness”*).

With the exception of the lake and the cultivated area the
depression is practically entire desert. The part of the. Libyan
Desert dealt with here has, excluding the cultivated land and the
lake, an area of some ten thousand square kilometres. Some portions
have been exactly examined and mapped, others are still very imper-
fectly known, especially on the south and south-west sides.

The rocks forming the area within the above limits are almost
entirely of sedimentary origin, the exception being a band of hard
basalt intercalated at the very top of the series and exposed only
on the extreme northermost limit of the depression.

The unique character of the Faytm is alone sufficient to show
that special causes have acted in its production*). Two main causes-
stand out: 1. the presence of thick bands of comparatively soft
arenaceous and argillaceous strata breaking up the usually continuous
hard limestone of the Middle Hocene; 2. the effect of the Nile
valley fault in lowering the whole of the western desert (north of

Assiut) relatively to the eastern. The former took place as the
result of changed geographical conditions on the continent to the
south at the time in question, with which however we need not
deal here. On a homogenous mass of rock weathering has little
power to form depressions of any magnitude, and this is the cause
of the continuous unbroken plateau which stretches southwards
from the Faytim, the under-lying rocks being one continuous thick
mass of hard limestone. Wherever softer intercalations are present
differential weathering takes place, and all the great depressions of
the Libyan desert owe their origin to the presence oft soft easily
denuded strata; if the great homogenous mass of the Nile Valley
limestone had stretched unchanged westwards, the Little Oasis and
Farafra would never have existed.

Not one endemic species exists in this district and only a few
species not found again in other districts of Egypt, these are the
following:

Medicago granatensis. | Atriplex tataricum.
Astragalus brachyceras. Najas pectinata.

Vicia gracilis. Panicum eruciforme.
Myriophyllum spicatum. Alopecurus agrestis.

c) The narrower Nile-Valley (N. v. N. v. mer.).

North of Aswan the Nile flows through a fertile and highly
cultivated valley which opens out into the Delta 25 kilometres north
of Cairo, and in this part of its basin the river occupies the western
margin, all drainage lines of any importance coming in from the
east on the right bank. This is due to the very unequal relief of
the country lying on either side of the river. On the east the divide
between the Nile and the Red Sea is formed by a range of ancient
crystalline rocks running parallel to the coast at a short distance
from it, and which rises to a considerable height since many of its
peaks reach 1200 metres while some few attain or even exceed
2000 metres. On the west of the valley conditions are very different;
the desert plateau rises rapidly from the valley, often as steep cliffs,
and more gradually for some 10—20 kilometres beyond this. To
this succeeds an almost horizontal plateau without any well defined
drainage lines, rising here and there to low flat-topped ridges, but
on the whole falling very gently to the westward. Only such rain
storms as fall near the plateau edge are drained towards the river
and but rarely does the water reach the margin of the cultivation.
What falls on the plateau drains into shallow wind-worm depressions
and there soaks into the rock or is soon evaporated. The area of
the basin west of the Nile may in this part of its course be limited

Appendix lI: Phytogeography and Geology. 1087

to the 5—10 kilometres beyond the limits of the cultivation, and
of this area none of it can be said to be effective seeing how small
a quantity of rain falls. A few rain storms occur every winter but
they are usually very local in their effect. On the eastern side the
much larger area, and the steeper slopes, together with a greater
frequency of rain near the Red Sea hills make the winter rainfall
a more important factor.

In a trough from 2—10 kilometres wide and 100—300 metres
deep lies the Nile, meandering through a flood plain formed by
yearly deposits of silt brought down from the Abyssinian table land
by the Blue Nile and the Atbara.

At Aswan two series of climatic observations exist which agree
very fairly well. ‘The first was taken at the Military Hospital at the
north end of the town, while for the second series the thermometer
screen is on the east bank of the river just below the reservoir
dam about 200 metres from the river. Climatological stations were
established at Assiut, Sheykh Fadl, Beni Suef, at Giza, Cairo and
other places.

On leaving Aswan the river flows due north in a narrow valley
hardly more than a kilometre wide and bounded by sandstone
cliffs about 20—30 metres high; behind this the desert rises slowly
till on the west about 20—30 kilometres distant the steep face of
the cretaceous limestone cliffs in seen bounding the higher desert
plateau. At Gebel Silsile the Nile flows through a comperatively
narrow channel 350 metres wide and many writers have maintained
that there was formerly a rocky barrier at this point which the
river has in time removed. There is but little change in the
geographical character of the valley until near Beni Suef when the
limestone plateau bends back so as to include the depression of
the Faytim afterwards passing under later deposits and not again
appearing on this side.

The Nile between Aswan and Cairo follows a depression in
which it has gradually deposited a considerable thickness of alluvial

mud, and now if meanders on the flood-plain which it has formed.
In earlier times side channels followed the lower margins of the
valleys, and lagoons and swamps existed in the same part of the
valley, but now owing to controlled irrigation such parts have been
reclaimed and former water channels such as the Sohagia Canal,
and the Bahr Yusuf are to-day supply-canals which irrigate the
marginal portions of the valley. For the past fifty centuries at
least the Nile has been depositing in this reach, and the average
rise of the bed due to this is about 0,10 metre per century, so that
some 5 metres of alluvial mud have been laid down in historical
times. The needs of agriculture, and the requirements of a dense
population have produced a strict control of the river so that the |
water of the low stage supply may be used as economically as
possible, and the turbid water of the flood spread as widely as
possible in order to deposit its sediment on the cultivated lands.
The river therefore is more of the nature of a great supply canal
than a stream free to meander through its flood-plain. Similar
control of the water and consequent reclamation of the land have
diminished the lake which once occupied the depression of the Faytim,
until now a small and rapidly shrinking lake alone remains.

III. Oases of the Libyan Desert.

The chief oases of the Libyan desert Siwa, Little Oasis, Dakhel,
Farafra, Great Oasis, occupy extensive depressions cut down through
the horizontal Hocene strata (with the exception that Dakhel is almost
entirely cut in Cretaceous strata) to the underlying saddle of Creta-
ceous rocks; some of the more porous beds of the latter are water-
bearing and from them, either through natural passages or through
artificial borings, the water rises to the surface, often under con-
siderable pressure. The floor level varies considerably but the culti-

vated lands in general lie between 70 and 115 metres above sea
level *).

I. Siwa. The Oasis of Ammon, or Siwa, at it is called in Arabie,
doubtless from the ancient Egyptian name, is about 6 miles long by
4+1/, to 5 miles wide. It is divided into two parts, of which the
eastern is the more fertile. This part ends in a lake of brackish
water on Nort-East, beyond which at a distance of about 10 miles
is the small Oasis of Zéebin. There is also a lake of brackish water
on the West, on which side, from El-Gara to el-‘Arashiya, there
extends for 50 miles a series of small oases, all of which, together —
with that of Zétin, are included under the title of Siwa?).

The geological features resemble those of all the Oases. The
soil is extremely fertile and covered with fruiting trees, principally
the date-palm, of which there are five kinds, the “sultani, frahi,
saidi, ghazali, all of excellent quality. These constitute the principal
commerce and source of revenue.

II. Little Oasis*). The Little or Baharia Oases, lying 180 kilo-
metres west of Minia, is a large natural excavation 150 metres deep
and entirely surrounded by escarpments.. The cultivated land bear
a very small proportion to the total oasis-area; their general level
is 110—115 metres above sea level, rising to 155 metres at Ain-
el-Haiss in the southern part of the depression. ‘The total area of
cultivated land is about 2,500 acres, largely made up of palmgroves;
rice, wheat and barley are grown, but the area sown with cereals
has of late years being decreasing in extent owing to a diminshed
output from the springs. Baharia is par excellence the date-produ-
cing oasis of Egypt and very large quantities are annually ex-
ported to the Nile valley; besides date-palms the gardens contain
numbers of olive, apricot and other fruit trees. ‘Taxation is on palm
trees and land.

The water-supply is derived from Cretaceous sandstones forming
the floor of the depression, the water rising naturally to the sur-
face of the lowest areas. In numerous cases long adits have been
driven into the rock to obtain an increased supply; these tunnels

communicate with the surface of the ground by a series of air
shafts; they mostly date from early times. No deep wells appear
to exist in the Oasis and certainly no borings have been made in
modern times. The fall of the water-level is propably due to the
gradual choking of the passages; an unsatisfactory and laborious
method of clearing out wells is in vogue but little trouble is taken
to prevent the deterioration of the water-supply generally. Practi-
cally all the available land in this oasis is under cultivation.

III. Faraira'). This oasis occupiesa large semicircular depression
300 kilometres west of Assiut. The floor is formed of the white chalk
at the top of the Cretaceous, but at “Ain-el-Wady, a spring in the north
part of the depression at 26 metres above sea-level, the underlying
beds are locally exposed. In the entire area there are 20 springs,
mostly grouped round the village Qasr, Farafra; the total area of the
latter, including the few palm-groves, probably does not amount to
500 acres. Wheat, barley, durra, rice, onions and some fruit are
erown, and small quantities of dates and olives are exported; for-
merly the olives of Farafra were celebrated for their quality, but of
late years trees have deteriorated.

The water rises as springs from the white chalk and does not
necessitate the use of lifting appliances, through the out put appears
to be decreasing through natural causes.

Owing to the abscence of waste pools and marshy land the
climate of Farafra is more healthy than that of the other oases.

IV. Dakhel. This, by far the most important and prosperous
of the Egyptian oases, lies three day’s march west of Kharge, or
about 300 kilometres west of Armant in the Nile Valley. The
cultivable land within the oasis (400 square kilometres) amounts
to nearly 50000 acres of which one half is under cultivation; in
addition several extensive areas of alluvium covered ground exist
outside the oasis proper, not ably on the Gablari road between Dakhel
and Great Oasis. Owing to the difficulty of drainage, salines, salty
land, marshes and-pools occupy 7000 acres.

There are nearly 130000 adult palm trees in Dakhel, a large
export trade in dates being carried on with the Nile Valley; the
finest crops of wheat and barley are raised, while the fruits of the
ousis, Oranges, apricots, mulberries, etc. are abundant and of excellent
quality.

The water-supply of the oasis is derived from an underground
bed of sandstone, 55 metres thick, underlying a dense impervious
red clay 45 metres in thickness. Below the water-bearing sandstone

lies a black clay, never yet penetrated by the boring rods; it is
probably that other water tables exist below and such would be in
valuable for the inrigation of those parts of the oasis where the
present supply is unsatisfactory. There seem to be no natural springs
extant at the present day, the whole of the water-supply being
through boreholes both ancient and modern.

It is probably that the water bearing table has its outcrop in
the rainy regions of Darfur, although some of its water may be
derived by direct infiltration from the Nile in its upper reaches.

V. Great Oasis'). The Great Oasis or Kharge, the eastern
most of the two southern oases, is a north and south lying depression,
mostly bounded by steep and lofty escarpments but open to the
south and south west. A great part of its floor, which is composed
of the Nubian sandstone is burried under sand accumulations. The
adult palm trees in the oasis number about 60000 and the eulti-
vated lands have an area of some 4500 acres. The crops raised
do not appear to be sufficient to support the population, as a certain
amount of grain is imported from Dakhel. Dates are exported to
the Nile Valley, though in less quantities than from Dakhel and the
Little Oasis.

The general level of the floor of the oasis lies between 50 and
130 metres above sea level, though near Qasr Zaiyan a limited area
appears to lie below sea level. Water is met with in most localities
on digging to a moderate depth, but the best supplies are from deep
wells; as in Dakhel the majority of the wells are of considerable
antiquity, though some have been recently made with modern boring
plant. With an increased water-supply cultivation could be very
much extended, as there are large areas of unoccupied alluvium
covered land within the oasis.

The oases-revion has only a few special-plants not more than
some twenty and only 3 endemics. In the following list those species
of tropical-african origin are marked by an 7:

+ Maerua crassifolia. + Striga gesnerioides.

IV. The Desert region.

The relief of the deserts lying on either side of the Nile
is very unequal’). On the east (D. a.) the divide between the
Nile and the Red Sea is formed by a range of ancient crystalline
rocks running parallel to the coast at a short distance from it, and
which rises to a considerable height since many of its peaks reach
1200 metres while some few attain or even exceed 2000 metres.
From the foot of this range the plateau, formed of cretaceous and
tertiary sandstones and limestones, slopes gradually westwards to-
wards the valley of the Nile but even here the edge of the plateau
rises to 200 and 250 metres above the valley floor in many places.
On the west of the valley conditions are very different (D. 1.); the
desert plateau rises rapidly from the valley, often as steep cliffs,
and more gradually for some 10—20 kilometres beyond this. To
this succeeds an almost horizontal plateau without any well defined
drainage lines, rising here and there to low flatt-topped ridges, but
on the whole falling very gently to the westward. ‘Thus there is
no catchment basin of any extent on the west of the Nile, and the
feebly marked drainage lines extend but a few kilometres back on
to the plateau; only such rainstorms as fall near the plateau edge
are drained towards the river and but rarely does the water reach
the margin of the cultivation. What falls on the plateau drains
into shallow wind-worn depressions and there soaks into the rock
or is soon evaporated. The area of the basin west of the Nile
may in this part of its course be limited to the 5 to kilometres
beyond the limites of the cultivation and of this area none of it
can be said to be effective seemg how small a quantity of rain
falls. A few rainstorm occur every winter but they are usually
very local in their effect. On the eastern side the much larger
area, and the steeper slopes, together with a greater frequency of
rain near the Red Sea Hills make the winter rainfall a more im-
portant factor; in about every second year one or other of the larger
wadies comes down in flood, sometimes so suddenly as to carry
away camels and sheep which may be grazing in the valleys and
pours a large volume of water into the Nile. As a contribution to
the river supply these “Seils’” or rainfloods are unimportant but
their effect in eroding the desert is immense. ‘The rain falling
heavily for a few hours on the bare rock surface of the desert where
no vegetation exists to delay it, pours rapidly down the gentle slope
of the plateau into the nearest valley carrying with it the material
which the rapid variation of temperature in the summer months has
loosened from the rock surface.

1) Lyons: The Physiography of the River Nile and its basin. — Cairo 1906.

1094 Appendix Il: Phytogeography and Geology.

The desert is characterized by a vegetation of fairly uniform

character in its main features’). The means whereby the existence

of these desert plants is preserved resides rather in the peculiarities —

of their organisation than in any specially favouring influences of
the environment. The most prominent feature of this organisation
is the capacity which the vegetative organs have acquired to resist
factors so inimical to life as heat and drought, factors whose com-
mon tendency is to annihilate all living things. Though the minute
details of these multifarious protective arrangements are not visible
to the naked eye, they find obvious expression in the external con-
formation of the various organs of the plants. Thin-stemmed plants
of delicate appearance have tubers or tuberous roots (Hrodium hirtum
and Hrodium arborescens) snuk deep in the strong ground for the storing
of reserves of nutriment adequate to maintain them alive through
long months of absolute drought. The same end is gamed in other
delicate herbs by the possession of an enlarged woody basal portion.
Then again, the tendency to general lignification through all the
parts of the plants affords a capacity for resistance to many members
of the families Cruciferae and Compositae, families known to us at
home by their herbaceous, unprotected representatives. To restrict
evaporation due to wind and solar radiation the desert flora exhibits
a high degree of reduction in the surface area of its members.
This principle is illustrated in numerous instances by poverty of
foliage and considerable spininess, whilst in apparent contradiction
of this tendency, one often finds the surface of the plant clad in
a hairy covering or with glands and superficial excretions of wax
or resin or strongly aromatic substances (Hrodium arborescens, Haplo-
phyllum tuberculatum, Tvrigonella stellata, Odontospermum graveolens,
Pulicaria undulata, Francoeria crispa, Iphiona mucronata, Achallea
jragrantissima, Artemisia herba alba, Artemisia judaica, Lavandula
pubescens and Lavendulu coronopifolia). Further we tind plants with
smooth or shiny, thick and flesly leaves. Nature does not work on
one plane, but provides for every case special means of protection
and fresh weapons to carry on the struggle. Side by side with the
thorn-bristling Zila spinosa we find the thickleaved, wax-coated
Capparis spinosa, whilst near by are the hedgehog-like Astragalus
and Fagonia, and the soft, fleshy, fibreless Mesembrianthemum. In
marked contrast, too, are the Chenopodiaceae, a similar almost leafless
everlasting-woody throughout, and one would think indestructible —
and the delicate Parietaria with its thin and battist — like foliage.
Among the life-destroying agencies of the desert, the omnipresent
salt should be mentioned, and primarily — in the particular district

1) Schweinfurth in Page May: Helwan. — London 1904. — Second edition.

Appendix Il: Phytogeography and Geology. 1095

herein dealt with — common salt or sodium chloride, of which there
are abundant quantities in allmost all strata of the tertiary (eocene)
formation, constituting the eastern desert, where it occurs both in
the solid limestone beds, and in the alternative beds of clayey and
calcareous marl. ‘The winter rains are insufficient to wash away
the salt from all the outcropping strata: all it can do is to remove
it from the valley bottoms and gullies by which it runs oft into
the Nile. It is for this reason that vegetation occours in the district
only in strips along the dry water-beds.

Perennial plants are just about half as numerous as the delicate
annuals. Their existence is in dependent of the fluctuating and variable
annual winter rains. They shoot anew and blossom even after a
rainless or all but rainless winter. In marked contrast are the annual
herbs which depend absolutely upon the rainfall; nor is all rain of
equal value in promoting their development. For a rich spring
vegetation of annuals, the rain should fall about the end of February
and the early part of March, at which time the growing heat of
the sun is capable of promoting germination. Trees are hardly met
with im the district. Acacia torsilis, Retama Raeam and some
Tamarniks occur as trees, with well-formed trunks.

[. Libyan Desert. No more striking contrast can be imagined
than that between the intensely cultivated Valley of the Nile and.
the barren deserts. There are arid wastes in many parts of the
world — in Australia, in the western States of America, in Asia —
but in point of desolateness, in the absence of animal and vegetable
lif, there is probably nothing to rival the greater portion of the
Libyan desert, on the west side of the Nile. Its barreness is aggressive;
it is not necessary to travel far to make its acquaintance'). So
sharp is the junction that, in a single step, one may pass from the
richly cultivated alluvial soile of the Nile to the bare sandy plains
which skirt the more rocky interior of the desert. Geographically
the Libyan Desert is the eastern and most inhospitable portion of
the Sahara, or Great Desert of Africa. On the north and east its
boundaries are clearly defined by the Mediterranean Sea and the
Nile Valley; on the south it is bounded by the Darfur and Kord-
ofan regions of the Heyptian Sudan. With the exception of a narrow
belt fringmg the Mediterranean, the region is, to all intents and
purposes, rainless, the occasional thunderstorms being extremely local,
and seldom breaking over the same district in two consecutive years.

The Eeyptian portion of the Libyan desert, is itself divisible
into three areas having essentially different characters, the northern
being an undulating nolling country of sandstones, grits, and gravels;

the central consisting of bare elevated limestone plateaux; the southern
a lower-lying expanse of rugged sandstone, broken only occasionally
by ridges and basses of granite and other crystalline rocks.

Only the following species are not known from other parts of Hgypt:

II. Arabic Desert. (D. a.)'). The neck of land which joins
Asia to Africa, or the Ithmus of Suez (D. i.), is nearly one hundred
miles wide; on the south side is the Gulf of Suez, on the north the
Mediterranean. The Red-Sea and the Mediterranean appear to have
been united in ancient days. The soil of El-Guirs is the highest
point in this district. It is about 6 miles long, and from 20 to
23m above the level of the sea. The soil is composed almost
entirely of loose sand, interspersed with a few bed of hard sand
and clay. North of Hl-Guirs the Lake Bala is situaded it is the
principal among a series of shallow lakes, or rather swamps, through
which the Suez-Canal passes before entering the low sandhills
which extend frome this point to nearly Port Said. A chain of
low sand-hills divide Lake Menzale from the smaller inland lakes.
1'/, miles from Qantara the Canal enters Lake Menzale, and continues
in a straight line through it for 20 miles to Port Said. The banks
here are but slightly above the level of the Canal and the lake,
and from the deck of a big steamer there is an unbounded view
over a wide expanse of lake and morass, studded here and there
with islets, and at times rendered gay and ‘brilliant with inumerable
flocks of rosy pelicans, scarlet flamingoes and snow-white spoon-
bills; geese, ducks, herons, and other birds abundant. From the
mouth of the Damietta branch of the Nile to the Gulf of Pelusium
there stretches a low belt of sand, varying in width from 200 to
300 yds., and serving to separate the Mediterranean from the waters
of the Lake Menzale; though often, when the lake is full and the
waves of the Mediterranean are high, the two meet across this
sligth boundary-line.

lat to the Southern limits has been crossed at various points by
many travellers during the present century'). The constitution of
the surface of this desert-district naturally depends upon the geological
formation. In the west, towards the Nile valley, we have tertiary
nummulite limestone; here the desert has the character of a plateau-
desert, like that of the Libyan desert, of which it forms merely a
continuation, separated by the Nile valley. This formation is follo-
wed on the east by a sandstone, which appears to belong to the
‘Nubian sandstone’, one of the latest members of the. tertiary for-
mation. The middle, the heart of the mountain system, is occupied
mainly by dullooking primary rock, consisting of diorites (greenstones),
diorite-breccias, and black or green-stone porphyries; with these are
often intermingled very beautiful red-coloured granites and porphyries,
and massive highly-coloured veins and lodes everywhere permeate the
dark rock. The chief masses, those on which the others, so to speak, rest,
are mainly composed of such granite, gneiss being less common. They
rise to a height of 400 feet. These rocks are nowhere covered, as in other
countries, with a layer of humus; but the geologist is not allowed to
behold Earth in all her nakedness, since the superficial layer is
generally traversed to such an extent with fissures, often of consi-
derable depth, that it is not easy to break off a fragment the size
of the fist showing a fresh fracture on all sides, while in ascending
a mountain, from the crumbling of the surface, a firm footing cannot
be obtained. In other districts, where much rain falls, this disinte-
grated rough-casting is washed away; here it remains, and the
whole of the mountains look as if burned by the sun. The rocks
in some ravines, where there are permanent waterfalls, do not show
these fissures; they are firm, hard, and smooth as marble, since the
water can take effect here.

About 80 species (given in the following list) belongs only to
the northern part (D. a. sept.) of the Arabic desert and 10 of these
are endemic. Those which are known from Sinai are marked by

V. Red-Sea-Region (R.)').

Nevertheless there are flat expanses in this region, but charac-
terized by their great length and comparatively narrow width. Thus

of Egypt. — Cairo 1902.

Appendix Il: Phytogeography and Geogoly. 1099

the upper part of Wady Kene and the western plains have been
proved to extend for over 200 kilometres from near the Galala hills
in the north to the watershed near-Kene Qoseyr road on the south,
though their breadth rarely exceeds 20 kilometres. Otherwise there
are no important level areas in this region. The main Western
Drainage of this area opens at one point only, viz. Kene itself. The
_ highest ridges of the Red-Sea-Hills are near their eastern edge.
The Red-Sea-Hills are not one continuous chain, but a series of
ranges, advancing in echelon, each now longitudinal massif to the
south being further east, though remaining parallel to its predecessor.
The association of longitudinal and transverse rifts has given rise
to mountain blocks. The Nubian sands and softer sandstones are
the chief cause of many of the great plains and minor Valleys.
Dykes have an important effect in the lower country bordering the
Read-Sea-Hills, giving rise to a number of long parallel ridges with
red crests or black outlines, while inversely, the softer diabases, by
their rapid wearing away, are in many cases the cause of gullies.
Red granite is one of the principal mountain-formers in the Red-
Sea-Hills, rising in steep slopes from among the lower foot-hills,
but in view of the complexity introduced by faulting, it is often
difficult to say how far these masses are intrusions, which have
withstood denudation better than the surrounding rocks. Its cha-
racteristics are either very sharp precipitious peaks, or when more
denuded, rounded outlines.

In this district are only about 20 typical plants. The following
list shows the principals of than:
