The Philadelphia Botanical Club is dedicated to increasing knowledge and appreciation of the botany of the Philadelphia region & beyond.

Join us in person or on Zoom Thursday, November 21

Join us in person or on Zoom Thursday, November 21 at 6:15 p.m. Dennis Waters @lichens4u will speak on, “Using DNA Sequencing to Untangle the Taxonomy of Lichens.”

Dennis writes:
"Despite two centuries of lichenology in the Mid-Atlantic region, there remain many unresolved questions. Several years of recent fieldwork in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, have turned up taxonomic problems that can’t be answered with the traditional methods of lichenology. A member grant from the Philadelphia Botanical Club has allowed some of these problems to be addressed using modern molecular techniques. This talk will look at several examples of these problems and how DNA sequencing goes where other methods don’t."

The club meets at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 100 North 20th St, Philadelphia (the northwest corner of Arch and 20th Streets). Our meeting is in the PHS McLean Library on the ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible.

6:00 p.m. Doors of the library open

7:30 p.m. For those who would like to join us and our speaker for dinner, we will dine at Thanal Indian Tavern (1939 Arch St.) at the corner of 20th and Arch Streets, directly across the street from our meeting.
