Sewanee Plant Press
The Sewanee Plant Press is a quarterly newsletter of the Friends of the Herbarium. The Sewanee Plant Press made its debut in the spring of 1997. It publicizes events sponsored each season by the herbarium and describes current botanical and ecological projects. Many of the lead articles are written by our Undergraduate Fellows. In Spring 2022, we published our 100th issue!
The Friends support the work of the Herbarium: research, education, and conservation. For information about joining the Friends of the Herbarium, or to subscribe to The Sewanee Plant Press, write Mary Priestley, 735 University Avenue, Sewanee, TN 37383, or e-mail: mpriestley0150@gmail.com.
