MNPS Program (Tuesday): Dogbanes and Milkweeds

Speaker: Christopher Puttock, MNPS Board member

Description: The Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae) is the Society's plant focus for 2018. This family now includes not only the familiar Indian Hemp (Apocynum cannibinum), but also the milkweeds, whose flower structure is - not surprisingly- quite similar. Botanist Chris Puttock will present an overview of this fascinating and ecologically important family of plants.

Location: Kensington Library, 4201 Knowles Ave, Kensington, MD

The program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
