Sagehen Creek Field Station

17 Jul, 05 PM - 19 Jul, 05 PM

With instructor Peter Zika (from the Burke Museum's University of Washington Herbarium), The Jepson Herbarium proposes to hold a weekend workshop focused on the taxonomy of California representatives of Juncus and Luzula. Using ample fresh material, we will learn how to recognize the parts of a rush, distinguish them from similar grass-like plants, and use new identification keys to the California species, prepared for the new Jepson Manual. A number of species not listed in Flora North America will be covered, including some exotics that masquerade as natives and are unintentionally used in "native" wetland restoration. This workshop will involve daily hikes to see representatives in the field, both on the field station property and at off-site locations. Evenings will be spent in the classroom and lab, where we will have a combination of powerpoint presentations and keying sessions with dissecting scopes.
