The Second Edition: Updating the Flora Novae Angliae and Changes to the Taxonomy and Conservation of Rhode Island Plants
Arthur Haines’ Flora Novae Angliae manual, first published in 2011, was a new resource created to update the taxonomy and assist the conservation of plants in New England. It formed the base for names used in the online Go Botany resource and informed the last update to Flora Conservanda: New England. Fifteen years later, the 2nd edition will again bring a summary of new information for the region’s plants. This talk will discuss new research and discoveries in the northeast with an emphasis on Rhode Island.
