What's in a Name?
Understanding the World of Plants
May 15, 2007 - May 15, 2008
|
|
|
|
"What's in a Name?," in the McKenna Gallery, exhibits the science and art of botanical classification. The diversity of life on our blue/green planet is not only more complex than we think, it may be more complex than we can think. Nevertheless, the question will always arise, whether walking through a meadow or working in the yard, "What is it?" Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Pine or fir? Ponderosa pine or limber pine?
This exhibit brings to light the many facets required to produce a useful synthesis of the plants that grow in a particular region, a flora, and the role floras play in our understanding of biodiversity and the conservation of life on earth.
