Nova Scotia Plants
The Nova Scotia Plants book can be downloaded for free. The book, by Marian C. Munro, Ruth E. Newell and Nicholas M.Hill, provides a comprehensive catalogue of the province's flora. Illustrated with GIS-generated distribution maps and full-colour photographs, these colleagues and friends offer a series of identification keys, a glossary, discussion of plant communities and a background to botanical study in the province.
The project took seven years to complete and involved academics, resource managers, technicians and students. Nearly 30 photographers provided images of more than 1,500 species. To download Nova Scotia Plants, go to https://ojs.library.dal.ca/NSM/pages/view/Plants
