Event Description

From Ceiba speciosa to Tabebuia aurea, two-part botanical names tell a story written in Latin.  Once you unlock their secrets, these two words do everything from describing the plant in question, pinpointing its origin, or honoring botanists involved in its history.  Never again will the Latin seem irrelevant or off-putting.  We’ll see photos of plants that illustrate these stories and familiarize you with Latinized names that illustrate common characteristics.

  • Tuesday, April 17
  • 10am-12pm, FGCU Kapnick Center Buehler Auditorium at Naples Botanical Garden
  • $15 Members / $20 Non-Members

Liz Chehayl is the Brian Holley Curator of Collections at Naples Botanical Garden.  She has degrees from Washington University and MIT, and is a Florida Certified Horticultural Professional.  Although she is a lifelong plant enthusiast, her interest in tropical plants dates to 2002 when she moved to Naples and began volunteering at Naples Botanical Garden.
