About This Book

The author presents a scientific account of a botanical expedition across northeastern Algeria, documenting plant distribution from the coastal strip through high plateaus to the Saharan fringes and the Aurès mountains. The narrative details field methods, specimen collection, regional vegetation types, and several species newly recorded for the region, supported by observations on local cultivation and oasis tree inventories. The report also describes logistical organization, collaborators’ contributions, and maps and meteorological data used to contextualize floristic findings.
