| Plant Science Group Technical Talk: Dr Rosemary Purdie, 'Getting to know an area’s flora'. | Monday, 1 February 2016 - 10:30am |
Herbarium specimens are often a key record of the plants present in any given area. Nunzio Knerr’s December talk to the Plant Science Group graphically illustrated how the number of herbarium specimens being collected each year across Australia is markedly decreasing. Is this because we now have ‘sufficient’ knowledge about most areas, so no more specimens are needed? Is there any value in continuing to collect plants from areas that are well known, or should the collecting focus be on areas where knowledge of the flora is, by comparison, poor? |
