Summer Botany Online: Asterales of the Northeast, Part 1
Join us online to explore the Asterales of the Northeast, a vascular plant order that includes species of bellflowers, lobelias, yarrows, and thistles. We will move through this order taxonomically, focusing on the characteristics that unite and distinguish the most common families, genera, and species. This continues the examination of Northeastern plant species begun during our Botany in a Winter series; while sequential, it is not necessary to have attended the other programs to join.
