Course: Botanical Anatomy - Online

Build your understanding of botanical anatomy considering the structure and function of leaves, flowers and fruits and seeds, germination and flower fertilisation in this intermediate wildflower course.

With over 1600 species of wildflowers in Britain and Ireland, to make an accurate identification it is important to look at key morphological features.

This course will cover:

• Leaves
• Flowers
• Fruits and Seeds

Please note that this is not a species identification course.

This intermediate course will build on your existing understanding of botany and equip you with the skills to recognise more key morphological features needed for plant identification, including the arrangement of parts, groupings of fruits and the processes of double fertilisation and germination. This is the perfect course for those wanting to build on their botanical knowledge and gain more of an understanding of the processes that occur within vascular plants.

This is a 3-week online course covering 3 topics, for which you will complete a variety of self-led online resources and activities. Each topic is then concluded with an interactive Zoom workshop or a marked assignment to complement the online content. Time commitment is approximately 2-3 hours a week and an E-certificate is provided upon completion.
