"Painting" Flower Species in Castilleja

These beautiful flowers are notoriously difficult to identify and they hold incredible biological secrets. Join Academy Assistant Curator of Botany, Dr. Sarah Jacobs, during this Member Talk to explore the diversity and evolution of the paintbrushes and ask the "simple" question, "What is a species?"‌.‌
