The New England Botanical Club (NEBC), which originated in 1895, is a non-profit organization that promotes the study of plants of North America, especially the flora of New England and adjacent areas. The Club publishes the journal Rhodora, holds monthly meetings during the academic year (usually at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts), maintains a herbarium of more than 253,000 sheets, has a small library, and annually grants a graduate student research award.

      From its inception the Club has had a close association with Harvard University. An office for the Club is maintained at the Harvard University Herbaria, 22 Divinity Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138-2020. This is the official mailing address of the Club. The Club's phone number is 617-308-3656. It is generally available from 9am to 5pm EST on non-holiday weekdays. Messages can be left at this number at other times or when this cell phone is out of signal range.
