Selecting what my be pedagogically valuable
Currently, I am teaching a lab course on plant morphology and biodiversity. In order for my students to work on live plant material, I have spent a lot of time in the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem to select appropriate study objects. Here are some of the examples my students are working with.
Canarina canariensis (Campanulaceae) from the western Canary Islands
Solanum laxum (Solanaceae) from southeastern Brasil, northern Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay
Michael Grünstäudl (Hominidae) from Austria
