The Perth Branch will be holding our next General Meeting at the Subiaco Community Centre on Tuesday 13 July, featuring a presentation on Cape Arid “An Unrecognised National Biodiversity Hotspot” by guest speaker Greg Keighery.

He has published over 500 papers and articles on the biology, ecology and taxonomy of native and weedy plants of Western Australia.
