"Arthur Haines's up-to-date, meticulously researched manual will be the standard work on the flora of New England for decades to come, the well-thumbed companion of every serious botanist in New England and of much interest to those practicing in adjacent areas." - Robert Bertin, Professor of Biology, College of the Holy Cross

"At long last, a new flora of New England! Teaching plants and learning about them using an up-to-date flora is a pleasure than New Englanders have long done without." - Dr. A.A. Reznicek, University of Michigan Herbarium

"Arthur Haines has written a remarkable flora, one that at once provides a useful and accessible technical resource for identifying plants in the flora of New England and at the same time brings to our knowledge of the flora a taxonomy that reflects the latest taxonomic inaugurations arising from the availability of modern molecular datasets for analysis of plant diversity and evolution. Mr. Haines's impressively exhaustive knowledge of our flora is evident on every page." - David S. Barrington, Pringle Herbarium, University of Vermont
