This one-day workshop provides botanical science insights to gain a comprehensive understanding of the family Casuarinaceae with expert botanist Dr Tanya Scharaschkin.
The Casuarina family are a family of dicotyledonous flowering plants placed in the order Fagales, consisting of four genera and 91 species of trees and shrubs native to eastern Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, Malesia, Papuasia, and the Pacific Islands.
We will examine all aspects of Casuarinaceae from structure and function to the ecology of the unique Australian members of this family. Learn how to use keys for identification. Individual parts will be drawn and labelled with botanical terms. During the second half of the workshop, participants will create beautiful drawings inspired by locally available Casuarina or Allocasuarina specimens.
We will be looking at a wide range of plant parts including flowering structures, stems and leaves.
