The next Plant Recognition Group workshop will provide an overview of the 44 species of Australian conifers including their distribution and some of the factors contributing to this spatial outcome.
The workshop will provide guidance on the use of an identification key based on vegetative characteristics: mainly leaves, cones and buds. About 80% of native conifers can be seen at the ANBG and you will be guided through use of the key to distinguish example species from the gardens.
The workshop will be led by Malcolm Watson who has a degree in environmental management (majoring in botany) and has spent the last few years studying and photographing plants at the ANBG.
When: Thursday 18 September 2025 2.00-4.30pm; including extra time to practice if you wish.
Where: Celia Rosser Room, Banksia Centre, ANBG.
