A joint effort by biologists with both organizations revealed the presence of Van Brunt’s Jacob’s-ladder during a plant survey on JDI property along a tributary of Dipper Harbour Creek in south western New Brunswick.
It's a delicate flowering plant that produces showy purple flowers in sprint and summer.
It's only know to exist in a few places in the country so this discovery is a new sub population of the plant growing at only two sites in the province.
