I was fortunate to recruit of the taxonomic and nomenclatural such stellar applicants, who both have changes that have been proposed since strong interests in the California flora The Jepson Manual (TJM) and that and passionate commitments to field have been adopted by our authors for botany.

4 New Additions to the Herbarium Family

This summer proved to be an in- teresting and exciting time for the Herbarium. Two new babies were born! On June 7th Cynthia and her husband John welcomed Shannon Marcile and on August 21st, Staci and her husband Craig welcomed Garrison Tyler. Cynthia is back in the office and working hard to plan the 2005-2006 workshops schedule and Staci will return to the office in early November.

JOIN US! Botany Lunch & Herbarium Tea

Botany lunch is the Herbaria’s informal seminar series. Held weekly, topics range from travelogues to research presentations. Weekly emails announce the speaker and their topic. If you would like to be included on the list, please email Staci Markos ([email protected]) or feel free to drop by the Herbarium, most Fridays during the semester from noon to 1:00 pm.

Herbarium Tea is an informal gathering of Herbaria faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Friends are also welcome to come and join in the conversation (every Wednesday during the semester from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm in the reception area of the Herbaria).

In addition to the Second Edition of The Jepson Manual, Jepson Flora Project staff and volunteers have been working on related resources. Check out these web pages:
