Abstract
THIS volume is difficult to classify. It is not a Flora; it is not a guide book; it is not a scientific treatise on Irish phytogeography; yet it combines features of all these into a homogeneous whole and provides those interested in the Irish flora with an ideal guide and companion for their studies and their travels. No one but Dr. Praeger could have written such a work, and it is indeed a fitting crown to his lifelong labours on the flora of his native land.
The Botanist in Ireland
By Dr. Robert Lloyd Praeger. Pp. xii + 497 + 44 plates. (Dublin: Hodges, Figgis and Co., 1934.) 12s. 6d.
