Robyn Klein has been teaching plant identification since 2016 with an emphasis on medicinal herbs. Growing Chinese herbs at 5500 feet in Montana, she discovered that seeds were not always the species as advertised, and sometimes a different genus! She’s learned a thing or two about how to use online floras and will share tips and resources in this 2-hour presentation.
Robyn will discuss the differences in how medicinal plants are named in the East and the West. We’ll do a deep dive on xuan shen, Scrophularia ningpoensis and S. buergeriana, and compare them to North American species. What can growers do to verify the species they are growing? What parts of our plants help the most in identification?
