Excerpt from A Flora of the North-East of Ireland Including the Phanerogamia, the Cryptogamia Vascularia, and the Muscineae

Space permits only this rapid review of some of the more prominent of those who in bygone times delighted in searching out our native plants. A few are included who, though still living, have finished their work amongst us, or have permanently left the locality. The major part have passed to the Brighter Land. This volume is the outcome of the labours Of many workers, and without such would not have been possible in its present fulness. Its pages show that there are amongst us still those who are doing valuable work, and who are capable of still further advancing our knowledge. It will remain for some future writer to tell of their suc cess, and to estimate their services accordingly.

TO complete the foregoing historical sketch a few biographical notes of former local botanical leaders seem necessary.
