Next Meeting is: Friday 23rd October
Speaker: Dr Dan Murphy
Topic: Wattles of Victoria and Tasmania
Dan will discuss his latest research on wattles (Acacia) at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, including studies on their biogeography and classification. He will highlight recent findings and unexpected discoveries emerging from molecular research and explore the remarkable diversity of the genus, as showcased in the recently published guidebook Wattles of Victoria and Tasmania, which he co-authored. The presentation will also examine the evolutionary processes and ecological factors that have contributed to the extraordinary diversification and success of Acacia species across Australia.
