« back to classes page
CourseGraphic Although small in size, Rhode Island has a wide range of ecological habitats that support a rich diversity of plants, including seldom seen rare plant species. As an introduction, we will first discuss definitions of rarity, habitats that support rare plant species, the importance of rare plants, and some of the threats to their continued existence. Then, we will show and discuss examples of rare plants found in various natural settings of Rhode Island. Finally, we will give examples of the measures that have been taken to protect rare plants including conserving habitat, establishing gardens, and saving seeds and cuttings in gene banks. We hope you will be inspired to keep your eyes open for these intriguing and often hidden beauties.
