Tour of the Greenhouse event

The Biology greenhouses house a collection of over 680 genera comprising more than 225 families. Of special interest are many species from families considered "basal" and "primitive" as well as unusual representatives of carnivorous plants, succulents, orchids, ferns, non-vascular plants, and plants of economic importance.
