愛爾蘭醫生奧古斯汀亨利（Henry, Augustine）於1892－1895年間來到台灣，進行大規模之植物採集工作，其主要的採集範圍是在台灣南部，計有打狗（Takow）、壽山（Ape’s Hill）、萬金庄（Bankin-sing）、鵝鑾鼻（South Cape）、台南（Tainan）、安平（Anping）及淡水等地區。所收集的標本全數送回英國倫敦之皇家植物園（Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew）標本館，副份標本則分送歐美一些著名的植物標本館分別收藏，以供分類學者研究發表之用。隨後他整理1854年以來西洋人來台採集發表的所有資料，於1896年在東京發表「A List of Plants from Formosa, 福爾摩沙植物名錄」。文中包括顯花植物628屬、1,288種（其中81種為栽培植物及20種為歸化植物），隱花植物149種，總計1,347種，是台灣最早也是最有系統的著作。

Irish doctors Augustine Henry came to Taiwan to carry out large-scale plants collecting work in the years of 1892-1895. The geographical coverage is mainly in southern Taiwan, including Takow (Kaohsiung), Ape's Hill(Shoushan), Zhuang Bankin-sing (Wanjin), South Cape (Eluanpi), Tainan, Anping and Danshuei. All specimens collected are stored in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew in the United Kingdom. Co-specimens were sent to the prestigious herbariums in Europe and the United States for taxonomy research. He then published A List of Plants from Formosa in Tokyo in 1896. This publication documented the information of Taiwan’s indigenous plant species, collected by European explorers since 1854, which is the earliest and most systematic publication about the flora of Taiwan. The sum total of the plant collection in this book is 1,347 species including 628 genera and 1,288 species of phanerogams (of which are 81 species from cultivation and 20 species of from naturalization), and 149 species of cryptogams.
