Wild Plants of Jubail & Yanbu: Their General Characteristics and Uses by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu. Paperback. Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, 1990.

This specialized academic and corporate reference features an expansive, fully parallel English and Arabic bilingual text. It was compiled during the heights of the 1980s development boom to catalog regional desert flora for planning, industrial greening, and landscape reclamation.

Highly detailed and heavily illustrated, this institutional book was mostly distributed internally to expatriate engineers, contractors, and scientists rather than marketed commercially. A fantastic, hard-to-find piece of scientific ephemera for collectors of botanical references, Middle Eastern modern history, and Aramco-era industrial history.

Great book in lightly read very good vintage condition with minor handing/shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages, tight binding and uncreased spine. Cover has a large corner crease on back and smaller corner creasing on front and light edge wear.
