"From the air Ireland is green, but on the ground there are many shades of green and much that is visually exciting. What are the plant types that make shades of green? Where do they grow? This book presents the plants of the Irish landscape and the reason why they are part of our landscape." "Combining modern and ancient Irish botanical studies, it describes the speccial landscape and plant combinations of this damp, diverse island. After an overview of the past and present, the factors which shaped Ireland's flora over the last 10,000 years are presented as background to today's landscape." "The book then describes, chapter by chapter, the plants associated with specific habitats, such as seashore, woodlands and boglands, and is beautifully illustrated in colour."--BOOK JACKET.
