Tuesday, May 20, 7:00 PM:
Dr. James Smith. Recent Molecular Phylogenetic
Analyses of Alpine Spring Parsley, Pseudocymopterus montanus
Alpine spring parsley (Pseudocymopterus montanus) is known to be highly variable morphologically and in its phenology. Dr. James Smith will present preliminary results that separate what we commonly call Pseudocymopterus montanus into several separate well-supported clades.
Dr. Smith is the Director of the Snake River Plains Herbarium at Boise State University. His research interests include the phylogenetics of western North American Apiaceae and using Sanger sequencing techniques to discover cryptic or near cryptic species within many widespread species.
This will be a virtual event with Dr. Smith presenting from Idaho. The presentation will not be
recorded.
