This is the first comprehensive, up-to-date checklist of the vascular plants found in Jordan. The book covers 112 families and all species, including ferns and gymnosperms, that have been recorded for Jordan, with correct nomenclature and accepted names. Each species is cited with at least one specimen from the field.
