The Andalusian scientist ibn Rumiyah undertook extensive journeys in search of plants and herbs which were not found in
his native land. He travelled to Egypt, Syria, and Iraq in the course of his itinerary and carefully recorded his observations.
Ibn al‐Baytar (d. 646/1248) travelled far and wide and collected botanical specimens from different parts of the world. He

Aghziyah, which describes fourteen hundred plants, has been acclaimed by Western scholars as a “monument of industry”.
Al‐Ghafiqi wrote an important work in botany, known as Kitab al‐Adwiyah al‐Mufradah. Ibn al‐Jazzar (d. 370/980) wrote an

compounds from vegetable, animal and mineral sources. The Latin translation of the book was used in medical teaching in
European universities for several centuries.
Abu Hanifah al‐Dinawari (d. 282/895) compiled a comprehensive botanical lexicon known as Kitab al‐Nabat (The Book of
