The Prince William Wildflower Society recently donated five copies of the long awaited book, The Flora of Virginia, to the Prince William Library System. The books will be placed in the regional and central libraries and one in the Ruth E. Floyd Information Center.
Prince William County Cooperative Extension was a recipient of another copy.
Two Prince William County schools focusing on science or ecology were given copies also. The schools receiving copies were The Biotechnology Center at Osbourn Park High School in Manassas as well as the Center for Environmental and Natural Sciences at Freedom High School in Woodbridge. Another copy in honor of Ms. Nicky Staunton, an active conservationist at many levels, botanical illustrator, and charter member of the PWWS was given to George Mason University, Mercer Library, Prince William Campus.
The Flora of Virginia published November 2012 is the first reference manual on Virginia’s native plants since 1762 and took seven years to compile. The flora, according to Nancy Vehrs VNPS and PWWS president, “is a tremendous tool for plant enthusiasts as well as scholars and scientists to help in identifying and conserving Virginia’s native plants.”
For more information on The Flora of Virginia or to order your copy, go to flora of virginia.org. Find out more about PWWS @ www.pwws.vnps.org or see our Facebook page.
