New Flora of Vermont. 2015. (N. Y. Bot. Gdn, Mem. 110). 614 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

Incorporating many innovations and advances in floristic knowledge, New Flora of Vermont by Arthur Gilman is a comprehensive treatment of the known plant species found in Vermont.

In the four decades since that last publication, however, our understanding of the relationships among plant species has advanced rapidly because of the wave of DNA-based data that has swept over biological sciences and the development of a powerful analytic technique for assessing evolutionary relationships. At the same time, there has been an increase in the knowledge of Vermonts flora, with an emphasis recently on potential threats to the indigenous flora from invasive species.

New Flora of Vermont adds some 225 plants to the list of the states flora. Nature enthusiasts and specialists alike will appreciate the book's many useful features, including a series of clear keys to identify species, a list of state counties in which a species has been documented, and an indication of protected status under state and federal laws.
