The one-day tutorial included in the text teaches you seven key patterns to recognize more than 45,000 species of plants worldwide. Master these seven patterns and you will be ready to use the included reference guide--Thomas J. Elpel’s Herbal Field Guide to Plant Families of North America.

Fassett’s classic, Manual of Aquatic Plants has been superseded by a comprehensive new edition from Garrett Crow and Barre Hellquist (see below), it still has an affectionate following, much like old editions of classic cookbooks and dictionaries. Fassett prepared the data to make the identification of aquatic plants as simple as possible, not only when they are flowering or fruiting, but also in sterile condition. 
The Manual covers a region from Minnesota to Missouri and eastward to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Virginia. Originally published in 1940, the Manual was reissued in 1957 with revised nomenclature and other updates by Eugene C. Ogden. A Manual of Aquatic Plants includes 219 elegant line drawings and seven photographs of aquatic plants, a glossary, an appendix of nomenclature revisions, an appendix on the use of aquatic plants by various fauna, and an index.]

Two keys to the families of Dicotyledonae covered by Parts 2 to 5 are included. In the first, the families are initially separated into orders, largely on the basis of floral morphology, then keyed apart. The second key, which is completely artificial, utilizes such peculiarities of the various taxa as habitat, habit, duration, and foliage, as well as floral morphology. As in Parts 3 and 4, notes on the ornamental value of the trees, shrubs, and many herbs, were written in collaboration with Brian O. Mulligan, director of the University of Washington Arboretum, and Carl S. English, well-known botanist and horticulturalist.]

[DURATION: 60 mins.
Late Secondary, University level; General Interest

Featuring living diatom cells photographed in the laboratory of Professor Jeremy Pickett-Heaps (FAA, FRS) at The University of Melbourne. This video introduces students to the ecological significance of these prolific and adaptable cells. It then embarks on a comprehensive exploration of all their varied activities which are carried out while the cells are enclosed within walls made of pure silica, one of the hardest and most refractory of minerals. Of particular interest are their strategies to circumvent the limitations that use of this material would otherwise impose on them - for example, how they render the wall porous, how the cells grow while enclosed within rigid walls and how they manage sexual reproduction.

They are superb objects for microscopical study and their extraordinarily beautiful cell walls have fascinated microscopists for over a hundred years. But living cells also offer equally spectacular images of cellular components such as golgi bodies, chloroplasts, mitochondria and nuclei, and activities such as streaming, cellular movement, mitosis and morphogenesis. Included in the video are numerous scanning electron micrographs and images from the confocal microscope that complement the images of living cells. Some of the activities such as rotation of the cytoplast during wall secretion, recovery from plasmolysis, attachment of cells to a substrate and secretion of chitin have never before been recorded live.

TOPICS and KEYWORDS: cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplast, golgi body, vacuole, turgor pressure, nucleus, nucleolus, cytoskeleton, actin, microtubule, mitosis, cell division, morphogenesis, silica.]

[ISBN-13: 9780870711978, ISBN: 0870711970; Synopsis: Sedges are key members of many Northwest ecosystems, performing critical roles in wetlands, prairies, savannas, steppes, and forests. They are often the dominant ground cover in flood plains, along stream banks, and in wet meadows and marshes. Their extensive, fibrous root systems prevent erosion by binding soils, while their dense foliage traps sediment, making them critical elements in the restoration of wetland and riparian systems. Field Guide to the Sedges of the Pacific Northwest is the first illustrated guide to all 164 species, subspecies, and varieties in the genus Carex that occur in Oregon and Washington and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Sedges can be challenging to identify with differences between species based on small, technical characters. After nearly fifteen years of research, Oregon botanists of the Carex Working Group have written this comprehensive guide, complete with identification keys, descriptions, color photographs, and distribution maps for each species, providing users with helpful tools and tips for identifying the plants in this challenging group. Information about sedge ecology, habitat management and restoration, ethnobotanical uses, and propagation enhances the guide’s utility. The Field Guide provides a comprehensive and essential resource for botanists, land managers, restoration ecologists, and plant enthusiasts. And, as the genus Carex becomes increasingly important amongst landscapers, nurseries, and gardeners, the guide will serve as a handy tool for choosing Northwest natives for the garden.  Biography: The Carex Working Group is made up of Oregon botanists fascinated by sedges and other difficult-to-identify plant groups. The CWG came together in 1993 to map the distribution of Oregon’s sedges and incorporated in 2002. In addition to writing about and photographing sedges, the CWG contracts with public agencies and private companies to do plant inventories, plant identification workshops, and taxonomic research on plants of the western U.S.]
