For our next meeting, Alex Karasoulos will be presenting the ecology and flora of the St. John’s River Basin with an emphasis on endemics, disjunctions, and groups of plants with cryptic diversity (e.g. Crataegus, Rubus, Viola). The talk will encompass the basin’s entire range spanning Quebec, Maine, and New Brunswick. She will also discuss photography and identification techniques that botanists can use for prominent species in the region.
The meeting will start at 7:30pm on Monday November 23 and will only be on Zoom.
Links for the meeting will be emailed to members closer to the date.
Alex is an undergraduate student at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Born and raised in New England, she has always had a passion for nature, but at about age 14, it evolved to primarily plants. She spends most of her time these days studying Rubus and other local groups of plants.
