Botanical Nomenclature - BRIEF REVIEW

Example: Picea pungens var. glauca 'Fat Albert'

1. a species name = the genus name plus the specific epithet
2. genus, specific epithet, and variety (may or may not be present) name are italicized
3. Genus is capitalized; species and variety are not
4. Cultivar name should not be italicized, but instead placed in single quotes and capitalized
5. italicization and underlining are equivalent, but use one or the other consistently

This is an oversimplification of the many rules, but it should get you through the initial assignments. If you have more questions please ask.

Completing Modules

When completing modules you need not turn in anything for the learning objectives or the terms to know. The learning objectives explain what you should be able to do when you complete the module. Terms to know are vocabulary words that you should be able to use in completing the module or in answering questions on the final exam.

Fun stuff about your fellow classmates...

Question: One thing unique about yourself (that you don't mind sharing with the class)

Some Responses:

"I often travel around and visit or stay in places rumored to be haunted"

"I have lived in many different places and have been involved with many unique companies that provide landscape and greenhouse services to the public"

"I am a wife and mother of four with many distractions of home duties and family commitments. I do landscape work in Jackson County and I am learning as I go. I find it to be the most satisfying work when I am out on the job, but I do not like the business aspect, just the day laborer part!"

"I am currently spending about half my time in California, helping to raise my twin nephews who were born in September"

"I am a transplant southerner originally from New Jersey."

"I'm half Cherokee so I view the world differently than some."

"I have a degree in Creative Writing (BA from UNCA) and I am a musician and I have a two-year-old son."
