About this event
Understanding how plant names are generated and sometimes changed is rarely considered. However, it forms the basis of all our plant determinations. Join NHSN Botany Coordinator, Chris Metherell, to demystify the system, to learn a (very) little Latin, and begin to get a grip on those tricksy species names.
