SUMMARY:Dr Chris Cargill ‘Extremophiles: bryophyte discoveries in southwest Western Australia and Central Australia’
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n	Liverworts\, hornworts and their close relatives\, mosses (collectively known as bryophytes) are often thought of as plants of dank\, wet\, cool\, or tropical environments. But bryophytes are masters of survival in the most extreme and harsh conditions. Recent field trips to southwest Western Australia made several discoveries of liverworts growing under salty environments\, on dry sandy soil habitats and as the dominant plants around claypans and saltpans in Central Australia. Come and hear about these fascinating plants but also see images of the breath-taking landscapes of these regions and some of the beautiful flowering plants that grow with them. \nBiography  \n	Dr Chris Cargill graduated from Monash University in 1978 and\, after some years engrossed in liverworts as a research assistant\, went on to complete her PhD at the University of Southern Illinois in 2000. Returning to Australia\, she became curator of the cryptogam collection at the Australian National Herbarium in 2001. She has also continued her research\, concentrating on the taxonomy and systematics of Australian hornworts and liverworts. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBHS \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 we 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 from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/COBHS \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. Many 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.

SUMMARY:Butterfly Rambles on Black Mountain
DESCRIPTION:We are looking forward to seeking butterflies in the Black Mountain Nature Reserve … Butterflies love the warmth of sunshine so we are keeping our fingers crossed for a delightfully sunny day … \nChoose your time \nIn autumn we see not only how colourful butterflies are when they fly but also how well “camouflaged” they are when resting on logs or rocks. Will we see Glasswings\, Imperial Jezebels\, Australian Painted Ladies\, Common Brown butterflies and/or others that are around in Autumn?  We all love sunlight\, and we owe many glorious and sweet-scented flowers\, at least those of long tubular form\, to the butterflies and moths that pollinate them. Join our local expert\, Suzi Bond to see and hear about butterflies\, and the plants they like\, near the summit of Black Mountain. \nIt will be a generally easy ramble with some steep sections and steps.  \nCopies of the “Field Guide to the Butterflies of the Australian Capital Territory” by Suzi Bond with Steve Holliday and John Stein will be for sale. Other booklets will be for sale\, too. \nMeet: Lookout Terrace slightly uphill from Telstra Tower on Black Mountain (see banners). \nBring: Binoculars to see the butterflies more clearly if you wish. Water. Snacks if you wish.  Suggested donation of $5. \nWear: Sturdy walking gear\, including hat and stout shoes. \nBooking is essential: https://www.trybooking.com/COWFY  \nThe number of places is limited\, and only available to people aged 8 years or more.  Booking will also help us to let you know if arrangements need to change (e.g. because of the weather).     \nHappy butterfly watching \nLinda Beveridge\n	Convenor\, Friends of Black Mountain \n
