Botanist Wayne Armstrong

An introduction to how plants are classified, with

plants (angiosperms). This two hour lecture will
discuss vegetative and reproductive terminology, with a
brief introduction to phylogenetic classification using
chloroplast DNA. Several plant families will be used to
illustrate some of the taxonomic revisions
in the new revised Jepson Manual of California Plants,
including Wayne’s favorite
group the duckweeds, formerly in the family Lemnaceae,
but now placed in the
arum family (Araceae).
