SUMMARY:Grass Identification Class at University of AZ Herbarium
DESCRIPTION:  \nBack by popular demand\, the AZ Native Plant Society and the University of Arizona Herbarium will offer a two-day combination lecture and hands-on workshop for students serious about doing grass ID work. The course goals are to impart sufficient knowledge for students to make wise decisions regarding collection of grasses\, to provide complete information on grass morphology\, and to teach the use of keys for identification of most Arizona species. Handout materials\, dissecting scopes\, tools\, and pressed grass specimens for study will be provided. The first day will be lecture mixed with hands-on work. The second day can be for review if needed or desired and questions\, plus working with keys from various references.\nTotal enrollment for the class is 18 students. Last year the class filled rapidly\, and a waiting list was established. This year we will consult the 2023 waiting list and offer class slots to individuals on last year’s waiting list and who wish to take the course this year.\nInstructors: Mike Bauer with assistance from several AZNPS members\, Dr. Shelley McMahon\, Herbarium Curator and Associate Professor\, UA\, and George Ferguson\, UA Herbarium Collections Manager \nCost: $40\nFor Registration Contact: Douglas Ripley\, jdougripley@gmail.com\, 520-909-3132 \n \n

SUMMARY:Flagstaff Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION: Zane Robertson: Rumex orthoneurus\nRumex orthoneurus is an herbaceous riparian perennial within the Polygonaceae or Buckwheat family native to Arizona and is a Forest Service sensitive species. One of the issues regarding the “threatened” status of R. orthoneurus is the taxonomic distinctions between R. orthoneurus and closely related species\, such as R. densiflorus\, R. pycnanthus\, and R. occidentalis. My research focuses on using ribosomal RNA extracted from herbarium specimens\, GenBank sequences\, and other historic records to provide insight on the identity of R. orthoneurus and better inform conservation efforts.\nZane Robertson is a Plant Biology and Conservation M.S. graduate of Arizona State University. His interest lies in rare plant conservation and molecular biology\, and his thesis focuses on combining historic and molecular techniques to clarify the identity of the rare plant Rumex orthoneurus. He is from Mukilteo\, Washington State\, where he first gained interest in plant biology while volunteering at the community garden. He graduated from Everett Community College within the Ocean Research College Academy program\, where he gained an interest in research and the principles of conservation within the natural world. During his time at Montana State University\, he studied wheat breeding and tested a quantitative trait loci (QTL) from spring wheat varieties to identify the effect of the QTL on different traits. He is currently working as a Conservation and Land Management Program (CLM) Intern with the U.S. Forest Service at Tonto National Forest and Chicago Botanical Garden.
