This volume is designed to accomplish for Ireland, what 

 H. C. Watson's „Topographical Botany" did for Great Britain, that is, 

 to trace the distribution "of every native plant through every county, or 

 where the county is too large a unit, into divisions of the same, termed 

 vice-counties. The total flora is reckoned at 1019 species.
