Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora Hibernica: Comprising the Flowering Plants, Ferns, Characeae, Musci Hepaticae Lichenes and Algae of Ireland, Arranged According to the Natural System With a Synopsis of the Genera According to the Linnaean System In 1824, I gave to the Royal Irish Academy, for publication, a Catalogue of all the Phenogamous Pm and Ferns which 1 had then ascertained to he natives of Ireland; This catalogue was the result of twenty years observation during numerous ex cursions made to almost every part of the country that was likely to afl'ord interesting matter to the Botanist. A few inaccuracies o'ccur in this and the former Catalogue, which subsequent capee rience has enabled me to rectify. Whilst thus employed, I always looked forward to the publication of an Irish Flora as the final result of my investigations - an intention which I had an nounced in the preface to my Catalogue which appeared in 1825.
