"The Laurentian Flora, of which this is the third edition, remains a masterpiece of Western literature between the two world wars (1919-1939)."

“No other publication of its kind so effectively transcends the dryness of nomenclature and encyclopedic descriptions. In Marie-Victorin’s work, the security and credibility of the information are consistently complemented by phylogenetic, phytogeographical, and ecological commentary, as well as historical and ethnographic information. These notes, far from being marginal, invite us to look beyond mere identification to explore the functions of each plant, to appreciate the unique and irreplaceable role it plays in nature, a role that is both amplified and threatened by humankind. In the 1990s, when biodiversity was a dominant concern for biologists, the insights offered by Marie-Victorin were most welcome.” Excerpt from the foreword by Pierre Dansereau.
