This notice came recently to members of the Wildflower Society of 
Newfoundland and Labrador.  This sounds like a useful book for those 
of us who have tried to get a handle on this challenging group of 
plants.  The coverage should be good for all the Maritimes.

Cheers,

Perhaps a wee bit too heavy for a field guide, unless you are really
enthusiastic. But, a great reference guide nevertheless.<br><br>
