The project to record, study and catalogue all the plants growing on Mull and its islets, and in the sea that surrounds them, was inaugurated in 1965. By the time The Island of Mull was published in 1978, 34 members of the department had been involved, together with colleagues from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, the Macaulay Institute of Soil Research, Aberdeen, the Scottish Marine Biological Association, and the Mineralogy Department of the British Museum (Natural History). The final catalogue contains records of 5280 species and varieties belonging to over 1600 genera, distributed over 116,550 hectares (450 square miles) of land and a similar area of sea bed. In spite of the five seasons of fieldwork, totalling 150 man-weeks, the coverage remains incomplete, although the Cyanophyta was the only major group omitted.
