This is the second year of the BSBI Irish Grasslands Project which aims to increase recording and knowledge of grassland plant species across Ireland.
Join Cinquefoil (Potentilla) expert Dr Brenda Harold for this online webinar which will give an introduction to the genus and the species that you are most likely to come across in grasslands. For completeness, Brenda will briefly mention introduced Potentilla species and those of other habitats.
Brenda will give a second webinar on Saturday 18th on Potentilla erecta, reptans, anglica and their hybrids for which you can book for by clicking the link.
