BIO2204 Plant Diversity (FOSCI)

Units 1.0 (Botany) Band 6

Synopsis

This course is designed to provide students with a grounding in diversity of green plants and their habitats, with particular reference to Australian flowering plants, and to provide them with skills of identification. The evolution of the Australian flora from pre-Gondwana to the present-day is also explored. Practical work both in the laboratory and field is an important component of this program. The assignments are designed to encourage students to extend their field experience in their own time and to increase their awareness of the local flora.
