Manager, Botanical Society of America, PO Box 299, St. Louis,
MO 63166-0299.
The Society was founded in 1893. We represent professional
botanists, plant scientists, educators, students and amateur
plant science enthusiasts from around the world. Our primary
purpose is to promote botany, the field of basic science
dealing with the study and inquiry into the form, function,
development, diversity, reproduction, evolution, and uses
of plants and their interactions within the biosphere.
BSA Member's BOTANICAL video clips
The response to Botany without Borders has been so good, and
turned out to be such an easy way to highlight the Botanical
Sciences, that it has prompted us to add video clips from
BSA members around the world. Send us your favorite botanical
video clip - videos@botany.org!
Enjoy!
