En collaboration avec le botaniste égyptien Mohammed Drar (1894 - 1964), Taeckholm a publié quatre volumes sur la flore d'Egypte, contenant les monocotylédones et quelques familles de dicotylédones. Ces volumes représentent une étape importante dans les études floristiques en Egypte (Le Caire 1941, 1950, 1954 et 1969). Ils comprennent les plantes enregistrées dans le Sinaï qui appartiennent aux familles étudiées. M. Drar a été le fondateur et le directeur de trois importants jardins botaniques au Caire. Il a créé la section botanique, le jardin, la bibliothèque et l'herbier du Musée de l'agriculture, où sont encore conservées ses importantes collections d'Égypte et du Soudan.

Volume Four is smartly bound in brown cloth. Overall quite an attractive set. The second volume has an inscriptin from the authors, and was originally given the othe botanist F.W. Andrews. A heavy set - extra postage will be needed. [The Flora, not unexpectedly, is an unusual work. It is a labour of love, clearly carried out unhurriedly in the tradition of those great botanical scholars Tackholm would emulate. It has been hailed as a model of scholarship and completeness. One special feature is the detailed treatment of the extensive ancient Egyptian tomb flora; another is the attention paid throughout the volumes to agriculturally important plants and economic botany. Also the enormous bibliographies, which provide access to the ancient and modern Arabic literature, are gems" - extracted from Abraham D. Krikorian's obituary in "Nature".].
