Hidden Beauty: An exploration of Qatar’s native and naturalised flora

With a focus on quality and scientific precision, Hidden Beauty is the definitive guide of plants in Qatar.

In addition to the high-quality images throughout, which facilitate the identification of plants, the detailed information has been edited and reviewed by leading global experts in Middle Eastern plants.

This process has led, among others, to clarifying and rectifying past misidentifications, and to shedding light to 10 new species of plants newly recorded for Qatar.

Targeting both professionals in the field as well as a general audience, the release of this title emphasises the need for environmental assessments at a national and regional level.
