The Desert plants, about one hundred and fifty in number, constitute all that is botanically interesting
in the Egyptian flora. The Desert tribe of Zygophyllacece being unusual in variety, while the
presence of and spinescent CrncifercE is very striking. But of strictly Egyptian features,
the most characteristic seem an unusual development of ResedacecB, and especially of Salsolacets,
the latter with plants resembling them in sensible properties everywhere dominant.
The river-flat green and grassy is altogether European, the indigenous plants nearly all occur-
rino- on the opposite side of the Mediterranean: and this continues even within the Tropics, the landscape
as far as the First cataract hardly presenting a distinguishable Tropical feature.
The following list of the plants indigenous on the river-flat includes maritime species along the
Mediterranean, also certain Greek and Syrian species occasionally found within reach of the sea air
on the facing upland.
