During the Autumn Term our MSc Plant Diversity students are each drafting a detailed blog on one species that is being grown in the tropical glasshouse. These blogs will be much more detailed and longer trials ur typical blogs and contain a review of research and other knowledge on a species. The educational aims are to encourage them to report on their own observations of the living plant material, to help them produce a piece of public writing and to oblige them to be aware of copyright issues. The blogs will be released from Christmas onwards.
Species to be covered in detail include Cyperus papyrus (Paper sedge), Pandanus amaryllifolius (Scented pandan) and Brassavola nodosa (Lady of the Night Orchid).
