Our program will feature a presentation by Martin Terry:

Current Research on Lophophora

Martin Terry, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biology at Sul Ross State University in Alpine. He is the Curator of the Herbarium at SRSU. He is one of the founders and current President of the Cactus Conservation Institute in Alpine. CCI was formed in 2004 to create sanctuary for two hard pressed South Texas species of cacti, Astrophytum asterias and Lophophora williamsii (Peyote). Martin will tell us about the work he does with CCI and bring us up to date on Lophophora research.

Attendees are encouraged to bring in plants or other succulent-related items for show and tell and/or the free plant raffle.

We hope you can join us Thursday evening!
