PLANT OF THE WEEK

Dr. Thomas Ombrello

UCC - Biology Department

Since 1983 selected plants growing in the College's greenhouses have been occasionally displayed as the Plant of the Week. A short essay describing the unique attributes of each of these plants of special interest accompanies the display.

Over many years, a number of species have been exhibited as a Plant of the Week. Slowly, but surely, the written material on these plants is being posted on this website. 

The Plant of the Week essays currently available are listed here on the left.   Just click on the name of the plant that you want information on.
