Book excerpt: "A scholarly account of the vernacular names researched and recorded in both Latin and Arabic scripts by Pehr Forskål on his expedition to Egypt and Yemen in 1761-67, published posthumously in 1775. Much modern research has been done on the scientific names of the plants he collected, many of which were newly discovered species; but until now less attention has been paid to the notes on vernacular names and uses. This account rectifies that deficiency."--Amazon.com.
