[NPSBC] NPSBC presentation: The Enigmatic Genus Botrychium with Jamie Fenneman

[Dawn Hanna]

HI everyone,

Just a reminder about another great Native Plant Society of BC presentation coming up this Thursday, February 7. Hope to see you there!

Thursday, February 7
The Enigmatic Genus Botrychium in British Columbia 
with Jamie Fenneman
The genus Botrychium goes by a variety of colourful names – moonworts, goblins, grape ferns – and is one of the most fascinating genera of vascular plants in BC. Their small size, cryptic nature, confusing taxonomy and mysterious biology have combined to place them among the most sought after and enigmatic of the province’s plants. We are fortunate in that the Pacific Northwest appears to hold the highest diversity of species, particularly of the subgenus Botrychium (the moonworts), in the world. Join botanist Jamie Fenneman as he uncovers some of the secrets of the genus Botrychium, including a discussion of both the biology of the plants as well as the diversity of species that exist in the province, and see why it has become a favourite of so many botanists.

Presentations are held at 7 p.m. in the Cedar Room at VanDusen Botanical Garden at 37th and Oak in Vancouver. Admission is free for NPSBC members, a $2 donation is suggested for non-members. If you have any questions, just email npsbcmembership at gmail.com
