Broomrapes of Britain and Ireland
Chris Thorogood, Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum
Broomrapes are among the most enigmatically beautiful plants. They are parasitic, therefore lack leaves and chlorophyll, and they have aroused curiosity for centuries. In recent years, broomrapes have sparked interest among plant enthusiasts in a similar way to orchids. In this talk Chris Thorogood, international broomrape specialist and author of the BSBI Handbook 'Broomrapes of Britain & Ireland', will introduce some broomrapes from around the world, then focus on the species found in Britain and Ireland and how to identify them.
Timing
The webinar will begin at 7:30pm. 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.
