WELCOME TO THE MISSISSIPPI NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY
 
| The Mississippi Native Plant Society provides a forum for learning about our state's ecosystems and the plants that exist within them. We meet to share a love of the wonders of the natural flora of our state. HISTORY The Mississippi Native Plant Society was founded in 1980 by Dr. Sidney McDaniel, a world-renowned botanist at Mississippi State University. Dr. McDaniel was keenly interested in the flora of Mississippi, as well as being a leading plant taxonomist of equatorial Peru. He collaborated on the design of Crosby Arboretum, and is responsible for training many of the state's best botanists. Members of the Society carry "Doc's" legacy into the future, encouraging others to learn about the extremely rich native flora of Mississippi. | ||
