Contents:
In 1889 the French botanist Albert Deflers (1841–1921) published a report of his botanical journey to Yemen in 1887. His 'Voyage au Y�men' encompasses, in addition to a list of the plants collected (part 3, pp. 107 f.), a description of parts of the country, taking into account findings of explorers such as Joseph Hal�vy and Eduard Glaser.
Deflers not only reports on the cultivation of qat in Gebel Sabor (Ğabal Ṣabir) near Taʿizz (p. 90), but also emphasizes the importance of geographical references provided by Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) (p. 16) in 'Von Ḥodeida nach Ṣanaʼā' (published in Petermanns Mitteilungen in 1886).
Deflers also describes to the hospitality of the Italian merchants Luigi and Guiseppe Caprotti (p. 56) whose house near the Salah el-D�n mosque in Ṣanʿāʾ became a base to many European travellers visiting Yemen.
