While chasing plants in Iraq (post-Saddam, pre-ISIS) might not be everyone's cup of tea, Barbara Ertter and several botanical colleagues jumped at the chance to participate in the inaugural expedition for a new Flora of Iraq, in the mountains of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. Her presentation will include an overview of Kurdish history, as well as the joys and challenges of chasing plants in a region that shares much of the same habitats as the western United States.
