Luckily for us, their coffee farm is right down the road from campus, so they were able to spend an afternoon teaching us plant taxonomy. However, this was not a typical lecture. Instead of bringing books and assignments, Dr. Lieberman brought live plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 30%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/Plant-workshop-1.jpg\" alt=\"students in room with plants sorted into piles\" class=\"wp-image-874 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/Plant-workshop-1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/Plant-workshop-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The class was split into four separate groups, and each group was given an assortment of various plants to identify. She wanted us to use our \u201cfive-year-old\u201d brains. Specifically, we were going to learn from making simple structural observations of these plants and eventually deducing families and species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> First, we were instructed to sort the plants into separate species, based on similarities in structure. Although we did not learn the names of these plants, the act of examining and comparing them helped familiarize their structures. Next, we split the small groups of species into two large groups: monocots and dicots. Dicots have branched veins in their leaves, while monocots have parallel veins going in the same direction. Afterwards, we subdivided the plants into alternate and opposite branching patterns. This was based on whether the leaf buds were positioned directly adjacent to each other (opposite) or alternating along the stem. Finally, we further classified the branching pattern as simple or complex. Simple plants have only one leaflet per bud, while complex have branching leaves per bud. We were finally ready to learn the names of the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/plant-workshop-3.jpg\" alt=\"people sorting plants\" class=\"wp-image-876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/plant-workshop-3.jpg 320w, https:\/\/courses.ecology.uga.edu\/tropical-ecology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2022\/07\/plant-workshop-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Student groups sorting plants during workshop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBring up the monocot, with a simple opposite branching pattern,\u201d Dr. Lieberman would say, \u201cdoes anybody know what this family is used for?\u201d. \u201cAgriculture&#8230;food\u2026biofuel&#8230;,\u201d we would all reply.
