The scope of the list includes native species as well as some ornamentals, weeds, Arctic disjuncts, and agricultural plants. For each species the following information is provided: family, genus, and species names; up to four scientific synonyms; up to two common names; a French name, if available; vegetation code; Bayer code; rarity status; numeric life form code; and a life cycle code. The list is phylogenetically arranged into chapters, each with its own description and assortment of life forms. Three indexes (Latin, English, and French) provide access to all plant names.

This list was compiled to promote awareness of rare plants in Canada's flora, and also to promote awareness of their ecosystems and the need to preserve them. The list includes all native taxa, above the rank of form, that are rare in each of the provinces and/or territories in which they occur. Hybrids and naturalized species are not included. Information given for each includes scientific name and authority, synonyms, family name, references, endemism, nature conservancy rank, Canadian priority, and Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada status. Plants are also listed by family, endemic, province or territory, and priority.

Here is the most inclusive field guide available to the wildflowers in the northeastern United States. Designed for easy use, the book features two-page spreads with descriptive text and range maps on one side facing pages of color photos on the other. The descriptions are concise, but thorough, and the range maps show both where the plant grows and what time of year it is likely to be in bloom. Plants are grouped by flower color, usually the feature first noticed by the observer. The species are subsequently grouped by petal arrangement, type of leaves, and number of flower parts as indicated in the "quick characters" box at the top of each page.

An exploration of trees in the Golden Horseshoe and the stories they tell. Trees define so much of Canadian life, but many people, particularly in the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario, don’t know that much about them. Granted, it is harder here: there are more trees that are native to this area than anywhere else in Canada. The great storytellers of the landscape, trees are looking glasses into the past. They speak of biology, ecology, and geology, as well as natural and human history. Through a greater understanding of trees, we can become more rooted to the land beneath our feet, and our place in it.
