Excerpt from Flora of County Kerry: Including the Flowering Plants, Ferns, Characeæ, &C
Like the Flora of Dublin, the present work owes its inception to the late Alexander Goodman More, justly described as the foremost inspirer and guide of botanical research in Ireland for a generation. To his wide knowledge of the Irish flora and keen interest in its investigation he added a personal charm which attracted all with whom he came in contact, and it is almost solely due to his encouragement and his often expressed wish that the researches were begun which at length bear fruit in this volume.
The earliest botanical visit to Kerry of which there is record appears to have been made by Edward Lhwyd in 1699, and from this early date to the present time the county has continued to attract Irish and British botanists not alone by the exceptional interest of its flora but also by the beauty of the surroundings in which some of its most characteristic plants are found. Several of these visitors have given us more or less complete plant-lists of the districts they examined, but large areas remained unvisited, and it has been left to the writer to undertake the first botanical survey of this extensive county as a whole, an investigation that has engaged portions of fully twenty-five years. The results of these researches, both ancient and modern, are embodied in the present Flora of Kerry.
For assistance in the preparation of this work, my thanks are especially due to Mr. Nathaniel Colgan whose generous help includes not alone co-operation in the field, but also useful suggestions as to the form of the present flora and careful revision of its proofs. His Flora of Dublin has been selected by the writer as a model out of many similar works examined.
Others to whom my special thanks are due include Mrs. Jenner, Miss Delap, he Rev. E. S. Marshall and Mr. R. A. Phillips, all of whom have helped with much field work and local notes.
