The Southern California Botanists is a non-profit professional society devoted to the study, preservation, and conservation of the native plants and plant communities of Southern California.
We are excited to announce that registration for the 51st Annual Southern California Botanists Symposium is now open! The topic is “Birds, Bees, Flies, and Seeds: Pollination Biology and Seed Dispersal” Registration information can be found on the symposium page.
If you are interested in sharing your research or know of students who would like to share with a friendly, enthusiastic, crowd we’re putting out a call for poster abstracts! Abstracts are due September 30, 2025 and must be submitted electronically to posters (at) socalbot.org. Please include all authors, author affiliations, and poster title in the body of the email. Limit abstracts to 250 words, and please indicate if the poster presenter is a student. Submitters will be notified by October 6, 2025 if their poster has been accepted. Please do not submit abstracts for posters that have been previously displayed at a SCB symposium. A free 1-year SCB membership will be awarded to the student with the best poster. Additionally, student poster presentations qualify for free symposium registration
