Getting started with Plant and Leaf Anatomy
Jen Farrar, BSBI Northern Ireland Botanical Skills Officer

In this webinar we will be looking at and describing the structures found in the non-flowering, vegetative parts of plants.

The webinar will focus on the most important aspects of a plant's anatomy when it comes to describing a plant and help to build confidence when using a key.

Topics covered will include the leaf arrangement; determining where the secondary bud is positioned in relation to the leaf stem and how this informs our understanding of the leaf structure; leaf structure; describing the shape of a leaf blade; describing the edge, base and tip of a leaf blade; bark characteristics, bud shape.

Timing

The webinar will begin at 7:00pm. You will only be able to view the video and audio of the speaker and panellists but a Q&A feature will be live throughout for questions, which we will try to get through in the course of the evening.
