Summary Nelson, E. C. & Parnell, J.: Flora Hibernica (1836): Its publication, and aftermath as viewed by Dr. Thomas Taylor. ‐ Taxon 41: 35–42. 1992. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. Flora Hibernica by J. T. Mackay, T. Taylor and W. H. Harvey was published on 15 June 1836 in Dublin. Although well received by botanists, the number of copies sold was small. Taylor was critical of the book, especially of Harvey's treatment of the algae, and he tried unsuccessfully to persuade Mackay to published a revised, less bulky edition which could be sold at a lower price.
