Abstract
Hadidi describes the flora (20 different species) from three localities at Hierakonpolis. One of the localities is a cemetery. He describes the present vegetation that grew after two thunderstorms in 1979. The Predynastic environment was wetter and would have been suitable for agriculture, pastoralism, and settlement up into the Great Wadi.
