Orthotrichum: Systematics, taxonomy, and ID

(Pacific Time)
Valley Life Sciences Building (map)
Calendar: Bio Events
Featured Speaker: Dale H. Vitt, Professor & Chair of Plant Biology, Southern Illinois University
Sponsor: Herbaria, University and Jepson
February 2-3, 2008
The genus Orthotrichum is one of the larger genera of mosses in North America and its species are diverse and abundant in the dryer parts of western North America. Members of the genus are especially common in California where they form an important component of the epiphytic bryoflora. Traditionally Orthotrichum has been regarded as one of the more difficult moss genera to recognize, partially because the morphological characteristics used for identification are microscopic. However, there are many useful field characteristics that make their identification possible using a hand-lens and habitat features. This workshop will focus on learning the intricacies of peristome morphology and field characters useful for species identification and will include both microscope sessions and field experience.
Course fee $225/ $250
