First published in 2011, Flora Novae Angliae became a key resource for plant taxonomy and conservation in the region. Now, fifteen years later, the upcoming second edition incorporates new research and field discoveries, with an emphasis on their implications for Rhode Island’s flora. Learn more and register here.
