(BIOL 301L) Botany Laboratory
A comparative study of pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms, integrating form, function and ecology. This course is designed to introduce students to the major lineages of vascular plants, including the ferns, gymnosperms and flowering plants. Students will be introduced to basic plant structure (anatomy and morphology) and diversity, as well as topics in plant evolution.
