Cambridge University Press Flora of Connemara and the Burren

Connemara and the Burren are two adjacent but strongly contrasted regions of the west of Ireland which have long been famous among botanists - professional and amateur alike - for their wealth of rare and interesting plants. But in spite of their renown there is no general account of their flora with details of the distribution of the various species. This book fills the gap. Written on the traditional pattern of a county Flora, it gives detailed localities for all but the commonest species and discusses in greater detail than is usual in such works their ecology, wider geographical distribution and their variation.
