This section consists of useful websites for those involved in teaching a variety of courses in specific areas of Botany. You will find course outlines and web sites of those who have already taught the courses and have experience in the area. It may be particularly helpful to those who are starting their teaching careers.

Plant Taxonomy and Systematic Botany

One of the problems those of us in the north encounter is the lack of live material when we are teaching courses in this area. Dr Margaret Kuchenreuther has a suggestion which is in the archives of the Plant-ed discussion group.
