* This small work makes a part of a more considerable one, published by this learnedDane, entitled Flora JEgyptiaeo-Arabica, sive dcscriptiones plantarum quas per Mgyptum infe-riorem et Arabiam felicem detexit, ilhstravit, &c. printed at Copenhagen, in quarto, \T/5,after the author’s death, by Carsten Niebuhr. Some of the plants mentioned in this workhave been already described by Cavallini, but in so different a manner, as sufficiently justi-fies their being repeated in this account.
