Abstract

This study highlights the remarkable contributions of Dr. Lotfi Bolous Tawadros (1932-2015) to the field of plant life in Egypt. Boulos's tireless fieldwork, exceptional skills in plant classification, and meticulous record-keeping have revolutionized our understanding of Egypt's rich plant life. As a prominent Egyptian plant taxonomist, he made significant contributions, particularly in his homeland. Through his extensive fieldwork, taxonomic expertise, and meticulous documentation, our understanding of plant diversity in Egypt has been greatly enhanced. His botanical journeys across diverse regions led him to collect and identify countless plant specimens. He not only unearthed new species, but also cleared up taxonomic confusion, providing invaluable information for conservation efforts. Boulos's publications within the Flora of Egypt project have become the cornerstone for researchers, educators, and conservationists alike. His work has provided invaluable information, enriching taxonomic knowledge and distinguishing plant species. This paper also underscores Boulos's profound influence on the scientific community, highlighting his role in expanding our knowledge of plant classification, advocating for plant conservation, and highlights Boulos's significant impact on the scientific community, emphasizing his role in expanding taxonomic knowledge, promoting conservation, and fostering international collaboration in the field of botany. He participated in multiple botanical expeditions, discovered new species, contributed to the establishment of herbariums, and published extensively, earning numerous awards and honors. His legacy continues to inspire and guide plant research in Egypt and surrounding regions.
