1. Floristic Projects (requires BOTN 201, 301 or equivalent):

Collection/identification of vascular plants from designated sites in Brazos or adjacent counties or sites further afield selected by the student. Local sites could include the Texas A&M Campus, Lick Creek Park, Milam County, the Navasota River floodplain, etc.

For students with no experience in this area, projects, concordant with on-going WWW work of the Departmental Herbarium, would involve initial development of a personal WWW homepage with later extension into work with WWW digital image display and data expression.

For students with prior experience in HTML and other WWW-related activities, projects would focus on development of both botanical experience and WWW content creation skills. There are many possible topics to pursue. These could be linked to on-going work of the Texas A&M Bioinformatics Working Group and the Flora of Texas Consortium or new projects associated with either teaching or research activities.
