Subject: [BSW] Help sought WRT Indian Paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.20.2007171256410.9728@shell.xecu.net>


Dear members of the Botanical Society of Washington,

Dr. Claude dePamphilis and a team from Penn State University (Dr. Uma
Venkatesh and Dr. Sarah Chamberlain) are studying the genetic diversity and
population viability of the Indian Paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea
(Orobanchaceae) in collaboration with government agencies and conservation
organizations in Pennsylvania.

We are kindly asking for the assistance of local botanists to locate
populations of Castilleja coccinea anywhere across its wide distributional
range, especially in and near Pennsylvania (Maryland, DC, Delaware,
Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina). If anyone has access to this
species and can collect for us leaves and fruits, we will be very grateful
and reimburse shipping expenses.?

To provide information, please contact Dr. Claude dePamphilis by email
(cwd3 at psu.edu)?or by phone (814-863-6412).

Sincerely,

Marcos Caraballo

in the Mid-Atlantic Region

07/28/2020 7:30 PM?
Zoom Webinar

Registration is required.

To register, click the on this link:?http://www.mdflora.org/event-3729530


Speaker: Dr Emily Southgate

Dr Southgate?is a researcher, educator, and the author of?People and the
Land Through Time. Linking Ecology and History, which is the primary text in
the field of historical ecology. Her current research focuses on
reconstructing and mapping past vegetation patterns and species
distributions, and assessing the conditions that maintained them in the past
and that might maintain them now.

Climate and soils in the Mid-Atlantic region support forest vegetation,
mostly deciduous forest. However, the region is also home to numerous native
species of plants and animals characteristic of non-forested landscapes,
many of which are in decline today. Dr. Southgate will present a historical
analysis of this conundrum, using a variety of historical records, including
pollen analyses. She will also relate these findings to conservation goals
in today?s changing climate.

The program will be presented online through Zoom, in webinar format. You
will not be able to share your own audio or video with other participants,
but you will be able to submit questions in writing during the program.

Registration is required. After you register, you will receive a
registration confirmation email with a link to the Zoom program.?

The program is free and open to the public.
