"Botanical Features of the Algerian Sahara" by William Austin Cannon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work details the author's explorations and observations of the flora and geographical characteristics of the Algerian Sahara, specifically during his fieldwork in the early 1910s. The main focus of the text is to present findings on the vegetation, climate, and ecological conditions of this arid region, as well as to document the unique root habits of various native plant species. The opening of the book establishes the framework for Cannon's research, detailing his journey through southern Algeria, where he traveled approximately 1,000 miles to study the vegetation and environmental conditions. He outlines his itinerary, which took him from Algiers to Ghardaia and beyond, noting the difficulties and uniqueness of such travels in the region. Cannon also introduces the climatic and topographical features of Algeria, emphasizing the contrasts between the northern coastal areas and the arid southern regions, thus setting the stage for an insightful exploration of the Sahara's botanical characteristics.
