Australian Plant Taxonomy

Darwin/Palmerston - September 24th to 28th 2007

Registrations Close - 11 September 2007

The Northern Territory Herbarium (DNA/NT) in association with The Australian Systematic Botany Society (ASBS) and the Council of the Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH) is proud to host this year’s annual ASBS symposium. The Symposium and Workshop will all take place in Palmerston, a satellite city just to the south of Darwin.

The Northern Territory Herbarium is in walking distance to the Symposium and Workshop venues.  The program will consist of two days of seminar including poster presentations, two days of master class and a one day field trip.

Seminar presentations will be accepted on any topic of plant taxonomy and related subjects, plant conservation and traditional uses of plants from Australia and the broader region.  Emma Short will conduct a two day master class on Botanical Latin and David Meagher will present a workshop on Bryophyte Curation (Collection, preserving and identification). 

The field trip will be to Nitmiluk National Park (Edith Falls), just north of Katherine. Places within the Workshops and field trip will be limited so get in early.
