The article presents information on a paper that gives detailed account of the vegetation of the Aden peninsula, in south-western Arabia, which has an area of about 1.5 square miles and consists chiefly of a mass of volcanic rocks, reaching its greatest elevation in ranges. The author lists several plant species, which include Monocotyledons, Dicotyledons, Leguminosae, Capparidaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Boraginaceae and Chenopodiaceae, Compositae, and Scrophulariaceae. It is inferred that the paucity of species in the flora is not the result of situation or isolation, but simply that of the meteorological factors combined with unfavourable edapbic conditions.
