Abstract
The first part of the paper is devoted to a general discussion of the vegetation of north-tropical Africa. It is shown that the possessions of the Great Powers are not bounded by natural linea and that the vegetation of any one country must be considered in relation to the natural region of whichit forms part. A narrative description is given of the chief types of vegetation of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan as it was encountered on a journey from north to south; the climatic types recognised are the desert; the thorn scrub; the Combretaceous grass-woodland; the southern grass-woodland ; the closed forest. The edaphic types described are the Sunt (Acacia) "Forests" and the "Sudd" vegetation. The physiographic type is confined to the Montane Forest. A new locality for this latter type is reported from the Imatong Mountains, a mass rising to over 10,000 ft. on the Sudan-Uganda border.
