a tulipa systola chosen as the emblem for the negev desert botanical garden the negev desert in southern israel is a remarkable arid region which forms part of the great saharo-arabian desert belt which extends from the sahara and the atlantic seaboard on the west side of africa, across the arabian desert to the desert of sind in india in the east. comparatively small, the negev has had, however, an intriguing history of settlers, occupiers and passers through including nabateans, romans, byzantines, ottomans, british, bedouin and israelis. this rich socio-historical tapestry is linked to a landscape that is well endowed with historical sites, sublime landscape scenery and a robust and varied fauna and flora. the great variety of wildlife to be found here is intricately woven into the past and present of the landscape that results from an interaction between the people, the geography and climate. pistacia atlantica growing at approximately 1000 metres in the negev highlands near the ancient well of hemet. this majestic irano-turanian species is found here at the western limit of its range. a majestic species it is adapted to the cold winter temperatures found in this region. the trees are located thinly spread out along narrow rocky wadis. polygonum equisetiforme is found in most parts of the negev especially in wadis and basin areas that collect additional water when it rains. at the end of summer the stems can turn an intense purple-mauve colour which create striking displays in the harsh landscape. the species flowers mainly at the end of winter but can flower intermittently throughout the yea the interesting variety of plant species to be found in the region is due to the fact that the negev is not a heterogeneous desert. in fact it is quite the opposite, as it consists of many varying desert types. the area ranges in elevation from sea level along the mediterranean and the gulf of eilat, to over 1000m in the negev highlands. to the east, the land drops to minus 400m at the lowest place on earth at the dead sea. the plants of the negev belong to 4 main phytogeographic types. these are: mediterranean - approximately 800 species becoming less prevalent away from the mediterranean sea. saharo-arabian - approximately 300 species in areas where there is very little precipitation of 150 mm - 25 mm per annum. irano-turanian - approximately 300 species. this is 13% of israel’s flora found in continental climate areas with extreme temperatures and precipitation between 300 mm and 150 mm per annum. sudanian - found mainly in the southern negev and arava (the great rift valley) comprising mainly acacia and other thorn species, dwarf shrubs and african grasses. pancratium sickenbergeri is a small saharo-arabian species. here it is shown growing in the loessal soils of the northern negev. the flowers are similar in appearance to the mediterranean species pancratium maratimum , but the leaves of p. sickenbergeri are curly and the plant is much smaller. unusually for the desert, the seeds are distributed by floodwaters when they occur in the winter. sternbergia clusiana is a relict species that has survived in isolated pockets in the negev. this geophyte has remarkable butter yellow flowers that appear in the autumn. the flowers emerge before the leaves and create an unforgettable spectacle in the harsh environment. it is an eastern mediterranean and western irano-turanian species. the xerophytic plant species include trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, geophytes and parasites growing in a variety of soils where moisture is hard to come by and where salinity levels may be very high. in fact some of the halophytic species actually grow in the waters of the dead sea where saline levels are far above the saline levels of normal seawater. the reasons for a botanical garden in the negev the endemic plants of the negev are largely ignored in new landscape and environmental proposals and although a great deal of knowledge has been accumulated about the different species, their robust and aesthetic qualities are often disregarded and the plants are passed over for foreign species. this impacts on the local ecology and landscape character and landscape quality of the region. the impetus for a botanical garden in the negev stems from completed phd research undertaken by the author of this web site, dr. benz kotzen. the phd centres on the use of the indigenous plants of the negev that will aid sustainable development in the region. moricandia nitens is a saharo-arabian shrub that grows within groups in a number of locations across the negev. standing 30-60 cm. tall this attractive species has small fleshy simple leaves and very attractive pink flowers. the distinctive four petals cover the plant from december to april, but flowering can occur in all but the hottest months. it grows mainly on stony ground. thymelea hirsuta is a medium sized shrub from the mediterranean and saharo-arabian phytogeographic regions. this attractive green species has small yellow flowers mainly from march to july. the stems of the plants are extremely fibrous and the bedouin use the stems to create rope. it grows mainly in the western and northern negev on sandy and stony soils up to 1.8 metres tall. the setting up of a botanical garden is seen to be a necessary step towards the greater understanding and use of indigenous plants in the negev and indeed in desert areas around the world. a would provide an important focus for desert plant conservation, information, research and education in many fields including botany, environmental science and landscape architecture. it is envisaged that there would be close links to local educational establishments such as the jacob blaustein institute for desert research, ben gurion university of the negev, and other botanic gardens. a negev botanical garden will also provide great opportunities for learning at secondary and primary school levels and would also be a major attraction for local people and israeli and foreign tourists alike. the botanical garden would provide a further link in the strategic development of the region that is advancing fairly rapidly at the moment. the centre could provide a focus for new development and provide employment and educational facilities and opportunities for a number of people. further reasons - peace in the region - the botanical string of pearls the biblical garden of eden, (although more like a region) was a paradise, a place of peace and tranquility. most gardens and botanical gardens as well, have these key traits of peace and tranquility and it is but a short step to realise that the establishment of a , (ndbg), could help to promote peace and tranquility in the region. thus the establishment of the ndbg could be one part of a series of desert botanical 'peace' gardens throughout the middle east, the gulf and north africa with links to other desert botanical gardens around the world. the creation of these gardens will create educational, commercial and cultural links at all levels, through inception and creation and throughout the life of the gardens. the objectives of the botanical gardens are also to provide a bases for education of desert plants at all levels, as well as providing gardens/parks which visitors and local people can enjoy. the focus would be on desert plants and the gardens would act as a centre for plant conservation, study and education for scientific and aesthetic purposes. the botanical aims are as follows: to develop and maintain an indigenous living resource of desert plants from the various regions and other botanical specimens from other appropriate arid climate zones; to acquire, grow and display plants of the negev and other desert regions for educational and aesthetic purposes; to grow native plants to determine their commercial horticultural, landscape and environmental potentials; to engage in horticultural research and public service activities that will enable others to make use
