FLORA ARABICA

ETHELBEET BLATTER, s.j-., i.l.s.

INTRODUCTION.

¥E have tried to embody in the present work all the information available
regarding the systematic Botany of Arabia. Through the kindness
of the authorities at Kew and the British Museum we were allowed to make
unrestricted use of the rich collections stored up in those establishments. As
the two Herbaria possess duplicates the chief foreign collections (Auchor-
Eloy, Bov6, Defiers, Ehrenberg loissier, Post, Schimper, Schweinfurth, etc.)
we may safely say that '*^e had all the plant-material ever collected in Arabia
at our disposal.

It had been our intention to give a history of the botanical exploration of
x\rabia and, in addition, a general sketch of its vegetation ; but the notes we
took during the first year of the war are at present in England. We trust,
Jiowever, that we shall be able to deal with those questions at the end of this
catalogue.

The accompanying map will make it sufficiently clear what area has been
dealt with in our Flora. The same map shows the boundaries of the four
botanical regions into which we have divided the whole of Arabia :•*—

I. The Extra-tropical West.

II. The Tropical West.

III. The Tropical East.

IV. The Extra-tropical East or the Persian Gulf region.

We consider these regions to be natural ones, though the boundaries will,
be somewhat modified as soon as tlie botanical survey and more extensive
meteorological observations have furnished U3 with more accurate data for a
plant geographical distribution of the species.

An explanation is required regarding the Arabic names of plants, H. G.
Carter, who published “ Some Plants of the Zor Hills, Koweit, Arabia **
collected by Cox, says in the Introducticn ; The value of Sir Percy Cox^a

collection is greatly enhanced by Lis accurate record of Arabic and Persian
plant names, which he has vwritten in fully pointed naskh. This forms a
welcome contrast to the carelessness with which many collectors record verna-
cular names/^ We are afraid our record of Arabic names cannot come up to
Cai ter^s requirements. We showed the vernacular names to two eminent
Arabic scholars and we asked them to transcribe them after a uniform system.
As both pronounced the task hopeless we decide to give the names as we
found them without any attempt towards a uniform transcription. When
using these names it is well to remember wdicther ihe name comes from a
French, English, German or Italian source. — The letter S stands for Schwein-
furth.

It is our duty to thank the Directors and staffs of the London botanical
Centres for their kind help and the great interest they have shown us through-
out. Quite especial thanks are due to Miss M. O^Heilly who, from the begin-
ning, assisted us in our work and went through the whole Mss. in order to
verify the references.

Vem. name: Aden, Dobbiana (S,).

Notb : According to Schamann (Symb. Phys. Pars Bot. 1900, p. 5) another species of
Adenium would occur at Aden, via. : —

Adeuium obesum (Forsk.) Roem. et Scliult- Syst. Veg, iv, 411, of which he gives the
following syuonyms :

Adeuium Houghel A. DC. in DC. Prodr. viii, 412.

Kerium obesum Forsk. Fl. Aeg.-Arab. 205.

Cameraria obcsa Sprengel Syst. i, 641.

Pacby podium obesum G. Don Qea. Syst. iv, 80.

Adenium arborescens Ehrenberg.

In addition he wishes to be included : Adeuium multiflorum Kl. and A. Boehmianum
Schinz.

I doubt whether there are two species of Adenium at Aden. The specimens I have been
able to enamine do certainly not belong to Adenium obesum Roem. et Schult., but to A. arabicum
Balf. The genus requires careful revision, and as its representatives are very variable, there
is no hope of deciding the numerous doubtful points without detailed observations in loco,
Cf. etiam Balfour in his Botany of Socotra and Stapf’ diagnoses.

Note : Defiers says that the fiowers are sometimos quite inodorous, and that at other tvmes^
they exhale an offensive odour of decaying flesh. Carnivorous flies are attracted by the smell
and deposit their larvae In the Corolla-tube. It is probable that, by doing so, they are the agents
of pollination, carrying the pollinia of oue plant to another.

THE BOTANICAL EXPLORATION OF

ARABIA.

BY

E. BLATTER.

This brief sketch is intended to contain everything that has been
done or written towards the botanical exploration of the vast penin-
sula of Arabia. It gives the names of collectors, botanists and travellers
and, where possible, short- notes on their lives and activities.

The country, except the Sinai Peninsula and parts of Yemen, is
still very little known, geographically as well as botanically. Many
books of travel have been included because very often they are the
only source from which we are able to glean valuable information re-
garding the vegetation of extensive areas.

The matter has been arranged chronologically. On the left margin
of the page the year is given during which a traveller visited Arabia
for the first time or during which a book was published. Where several
explorers have visited Arabia or when several books have appeared
during the same year, the names are arranged alphabetically.

I wish to express my indebtedness to my Assistant, Mr. Joseph
Fernandez, who has helped me considerably in the preparation of this
paper.

B.C.

1800“ I5©@ B.C. — The oldest reference to Arabian plants is found in
the Old Testament books Genesis and Exodus where mention is made
of Midianite traders between Arabia and Egypt and of the wanderings
of the Children of Israel in the Sinai Peninsula. References are found
in the following :

484 — ab. 4^4 B.C. — Herodotus of Halicarnassus in Asia Minor. — He

travelled extensively in Egypt and Assyria. The main purpose of
his work is historical, but it is full of geographical information and
contains several most interesting references to plants, also Arabian.
“ Surely when he spoke of the Spice-land he meant some part of the
peninsula which we still call Arabia, and not the southern Hamad.' ^
(Hogarth.)

The first edition of Herodot’s Historise is by Aldus (1502). The
best critical editions are those by Gaisford and Stein (Berlin, 1869).

The best Latin commentary is that of Buehr (Leipzig, 1856).

The best English translation is by Kawlinson in 4 vols. (1858).

About 300 B.C. — Tlieoplirasiiis of Eresus, born about 370 B.C., died
about 287 B.C. He was a pupil of Aristotle. During his time Alexan-
der the Great (356-323 B.C.) had undertaken his many wars of con-
quest. To him the ancient world owed a vast increase of its know-
ledge in geography and natural history. It was Theophrastus wlio
made use of the accounts brought home by Alexander’s army. And
he did this to such an extent that he was said to have written tin;
first plant-geography. Arabia was not omitted. We find numerou.s
references to the northern coasts of the Ked Sea and the islands of
the Persian Gulf. Of the many Greek writings by Theophrastus two
botanical works have come down to us : History of the Plants. It
seems to have consisted originally of ten books, nine of which have
been preserved intact, and : The Causes of Plants. It was in eight
books, of which six remain.

For a long tinre these works were little known until Pope Nicholas
V about the middle of the 15th century induced the Greek refugee

Ab. 10'4 E.€. — Agatharchides and Artemidoriis seem to have had detailed
knowledge of both shores of the Bed Sea. But we have only reports
of later writers especially of Photius. Agatharchides, as he himself
indicates, gained his information from merchants and hunters who
had been induced by the Egyptian kings to visit those countries.
For the botanist those details are of interest which deal with the
spices and incense of S. Arabia. Strabo and Diodorus seem to have
borrowed much information from Agatharchides. See :

Al)out tifi R.€. — after tt A.l>, — ^Hirabo born at Amasia in Pontus. Spent
liis life in travel and study. “I liave travellctl,’ ‘ he says, “from
Armenia to the parts of Tyrrhenia adjacent to Sardinia ; towards
the south from the Euxine to the borders of Ethiopia.” Of his
Geographica in 17 books, nos. XI-XVI are devoted to Asia. Here
are passages relating particularly to i^abia. He gives the general
character of the southern Hamad near Petra. He knew an immense
dreary tract, south of the Hamad, largely sandy with thorny desert
vegetation, and a few wells and palm oases, a tract which at last
merged into a region of greater plenty. He was aware of something,
too, of the incense-land of Hadraniaut.

He also gives an account of the expedition of Aelius Gallus,
Eparch of Egypt, who, by order of the Roman Emperor, undertook
the conquest of inner Arabia. ^

The first edition of Strabo’s Geographica appeared at Venice
(1516). Good editions are those by Muller and Dlibner (1853-56),
and Meineke (1552-53).

at (^opeiihagen. Shortly afterwards, I76l, Frcdorik V. of Denmark
sent him together with Niebuhr and a f<‘W others on a sc.ientific expedi
tion to the East, more especially to •'■gypt and Arabia. He made an
enormous collection of plants with detailed notes on everything he
observed. He was, no doubt, the greatest botanist that ever worked
in Arabia, especially considering the state of our botanical knowledge
at that time. After spending some time in Egypt, the expedition
visited Yemen. After encountering many dangers he died at Yerim,
1763. “ Niebuhr mourned the ablest of his comrades, a man whom
every botanist still holds in honour.” His numerous discoveries were
afterwards published by his friend Niebuhr, the only member of the
expedition who survived its perils.

and his services were accepted by Sir Joseph Banks, the leading spirit
of the African Association, to explore the interior of Africa. In 1809
he embarked for Malta, having previously qualified himself by the
study of Arabic and also by inuring himself to hunger, thirst, and
exposure. ©After a stay of two years at Aleppo he went to Cairo,
Nubia and thence to Mecca in 1814, to perform the pilgrimage. In
1815 he returned to Cairo, and in the following year fie ascended
Mount Sinai. Returned to Cairo he died of dysentery in 1817, and
was buried, as a. holy pilgrim, in the Muslim cemetery. There is much

Blois in France, he studied pharmacy at Orleans and Paris. In the
latter town he prosecuted his botanical studies under 'Jussieu and
Desfontaines (1813). Married (1817) a young lady named Eloy and
added her name to his own. Became bookseller and printer. Under-
took a series of journeys in Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Sinai, Syria and
Persia with a view of collecting botanical and zoological specimens.

He encountered many difficulties and dangers. Finally he explored
Muscat and the island of Ormuz. He was compelled, by the state
of his helath, to return to Shiraz, which he reached in very enfeebled
condition. Thence he proceeded to Ispahan where he died in 1838.
His extensive and valuable collections were sent to Paris and were
soon dispersed over various public and private herbaria in France,
Britain and elsewhere. All were made use of in Boissier’s Flora
Orientalis.

Explored many valleys and took botanical notes. Finally he was
suspected as an English spy and forced to return to Makalla.

Capt. Haiues of the ‘ Paliiiurus ’ obtained a brief report from
Wrede and communicated it to the Royal Geogr. Soc. (1844) 107.

gain to knowledge.

Wrede did not publish anything, but emigrated to Texas, where

Shammar (1845). Disguised as a learned Moslem sheikh he passed
the northern Nefud from Jauf to Hail and visited Medina. The
report of his experiences on this first journey was long delayed. It
was read to the Roy. Geogr. Soc. in 1852 (XXIV, p. 115).

Wallin returned to Cairo and in 1848 he journeyed anew to
Arabia, setting out from Mueyhi, on the Red Sea coast. He reached
•the Oasis of Teima, on the frontier of the Shammar dominion,
and went to Hail and Meshed Ali. Then he returned to Europe
via Baghdad. He died in Finland after four years (1852) as pro-
fessor at the University of Helsingfors. He was a scientific explorer
of the best modern type. His papers are full of botanical informa-
tion.

species to the list. In 1854 we find Thomson as Superintendent of
the Botanic Garden in Calcutta. When, owing to ill health, he re“
turned to Europe in 1861, he once more made a small collection of
plants at Aden. A third set of Aden plants, gathered by Thomson,

S855. — Erandls, Sir Hletricli (1824-1907). — Inspector General of Indian

I'orests. When lie went to India in 1855 he stopped a day at Aden
and collected 64 plants. He is the only visitor who spoke ‘ of the
wonderful variety of the vegetation of Aden.’ He gave the number
of plants growing at Aden as anaounting to about 260, and in this
he came nearer the truth than any other botanist. A short, sketch
of his voyage appeared in Petermanii’s Mitteilungen. It seems that
his Aden plants exist no longer. Professor Strasburger informed
me that they are n)pt at Bonn. I also ascertained' that they are not
at the ‘ Botanische Staatsinstitut’ of Hamburg. It is, therefore,

had an attack of sunstroke in the Island of Pulo Penang and was
obliged to return to Europe in 1881. In spite of his weakened condi-
tion he disembarked at Aden in order to visit a small valley which
was well known to him for harbouring certain interesting plants.
Provided with a lantern and helped by a splendid moon, it did not
take him long to find what he wanted. But his nightly expedition
amongst the. rocks in the immediate vicinity of the fortifications
roused the suspicions of a sentry and von Marchesetti was arrested
as a Russian spy. It was only with great difficulty and after many
explanations that he at last succeeded in being set at liberty.

1883. — IfarL Henry Chkliesfer (1847-1908), who had been Naturalist
to the British Polar Expedition in 1876, was 'invited by Prof. Hull,
.Director of the (ecological Survey of Ireland, to take part as a volunteer
on a geological and surveying expedition to Sinai and Palestine under
the auspices of the Palestine Exploration Society. He was chiefly
induced to do so by the assurance he received from Professor Oliver,
of Kew ‘‘ that whatever our Continental brethren may have accom-
plished, few British botanists had as yet turned their attention to Sinai.’ ’
The botanical results were published in two papers.
