The Most Merciful. The Most Compassionate. It gives me great pleasure and honour to write the foreword to this very important and eagerly awaited piece of work, The Plants of Jordan: an annotated checklist. The Royal Botanic Garden at Tal Al-Rumman in Jordan was specifically founded to conserve Jordan’s native plants, and showcase them to the public in such a way that they would be revered and respected. However, it quickly became apparent that a large proportion of the information needed to develop the Garden was quite fragmented and insufficient or missing entirely. Thus, as a first step in achieving the overarching goal of RBG, it was imperative that RBG gathers all available data in order to begin the documentation process that would facilitate the identification and prioritization of propagation of the plants needed to establish the Garden. This process was quite painstakingly slow, as the data was dispersed across the globe and some of which was held in old archival herbarium specimens. Thus, the information had to be repatriated, cross referenced and analysed before making it final.
