Arabische Pflanzennamen aus Aegypten, Algerien und Jemen

A meticulous early‑20th‑century reference, this work gathers the everyday Arabic names of plants encountered in Egypt, Algeria and Yemen and aligns them with their scientific Latin counterparts. After careful revision of spelling inconsistencies and taxonomic updates, the author provides clear notes that guide readers through the complexities of regional dialects and botanical classification.

The volume serves botanists, linguists, travelers and market traders alike, offering concise alphabetic lists that reveal how a single Arabic term may apply to several species and how different local names point to the same plant. Practical advice on cross‑checking Latin synonyms ensures that users can move from a familiar market label to reliable scientific literature without confusion.

Beyond its immediate utility, the book opens a window onto the ethnobotanical heritage of the Arabic‑speaking world, making it a valuable source for anyone interested in the historical interaction between language, agriculture and the natural environment.
