"John Dittes will lead this one day workshop during which participants key as a group and individually, using the "new" 2nd edition Jepson Manual. John provides fresh specimens, usually comprising 40-60 species from approximately 30 genera. Nearly all 15 recognized Sub-Family groups are represented. Emphasis will be placed on terminology, morphology, and taxonomic characters used to circumscribe Sub-Family groups, genera and select species. Specimens are collected from Butte, Tehama, Plumas, Lassen, and Sierra Counties. Beginners, as well as those more advanced wishing to brush up, are invited."
