SUMMARY:Plant Stories: Woven Tapestry Narratives exhibition at the Visitor Centre
DESCRIPTION:Australian tapestry artists tell personal\, community\, historical and mythical stories associated with Australian plants. In the materiality\, colour and woven images they reflect our lives\, contemporary issues and the plant world around us now. \nExhibition organiser Emeritus Professor Valerie Kirk will also be holding Woven Tapestry classes 3-31 October 2023\, on Tuesday afternoons.

SUMMARY:Helen Kennedy ‘Melichrus urceolatus on Black Mountain is a different species to Melichrus urceolatus on Mount Ainslie!’
DESCRIPTION:Helen\, a local botanist\, will present updated taxonomy for Melichrus\, especially on the locally relevant results which show that Nancy Burbidge was right when she thought there were actually two species in the ACT. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CJTYT \nAbstract  \nMelichrus R.Br. is an Australian endemic genus of shrubs in the heath and heather family (Ericaceae) with just six currently described species\, all of which are confined to eastern Australia. This genus has received very little taxonomic study and its few treating authors have largely disagreed on species delimitation. Helen’s PhD research has tested species boundaries\, using both molecular and morphological data and inferred a species level phylogeny as part of the Genomics for Australian Plants Initiative to comprehensively describe the diversity in Melichrus for the first time. \nHere Helen presents a first look at the updated taxonomy for Melichrus\, revealing several new species and the evidence which support their delineation. She will focus especially on the locally relevant results which demonstrated that Nancy Burbidge was right all those years ago when she scribbled on a specimen of Melichrus in the National Herbarium collection that she thought there were actually two\, not one species of Melichrus in the ACT. \nAcknowledgements: This research is the work of Helen T.

She recently submitted her PhD thesis at the University of New England studying the systematics of a genus of native shrubs called Melichrus. Helen combines analyses of morphology\, anatomy and genetics to examine patterns of speciation and produce robust\, descriptive and highly usable taxonomic classifications. Helen aims to contribute to the description and conservation of natural diversity. \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development\, and thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CJTYT \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au. \nThe talks are in line with COVID-19 guidelines which can change rapidly.

SUMMARY:52nd Black Mountain spring wildflower ramble
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the spring flowering on beautiful Black Mountain with a social ramble for wildflower lovers in the tradition established by Nancy Burbidge\, and continued by George Chippendale and Jean Geue. \nDiscover the surprising diversity of tiny orchids\, bush peas\, wattles and billy buttons on easy bush tracks with experienced guides and good company. All springs are not the same. The pattern remains but timing and abundance vary with the weather; after the rain we have had this year we are anticipating a special display of flowers. \nFriends of Black Mountain welcomes everyone\, be they experts or those who have not previously slowed down to see the somewhat cryptic diversity. We plan that there will be several guides\, who will take different directions. \nThere will be some books for sale\, including Black Mountain a natural history of a Canberra icon by Ian Fraser and Rosemary Purdie\, and booklets about local plants. \n\n\n\nWhen\nSaturday 14 October 2023 – 9.30 am sharp to 12 noon or later.\n				Please allow time to park and walk to the meeting point.\n\n\nWhere\nBelconnen Way entry just before Caswell Drive turnoff – watch for balloons or banners.\n\n\nBYO\nMorning tea\, water\, hat\, sunblock and stout shoes.\n\n\nEntry\nGold Coins donation appreciated\n\n\nBookings \n\nESSENTIAL to ensure we have enough guides. Please use this booking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CLJIQ. \nThis helps us to contact you if changes are needed at short notice (e.g. bad weather). \n(If you have problems with the link\, email the name and mobile phone number of each person you book to friendsofblackmountain@gmail.com).
