[NHCOLL-L:3118] University and Jepson Herbaria visits during Botany 2006

[Andrew Doran]

The staff at the University and Jepson Herbaria at the University of California, Berkeley, would 
like to invite you to visit and use the collection before or after Botany 2006 at Chico. In 
addition to our regular 8:00 – 5:00 hours on business days, we will open specially on Saturday 
July 29th (10:00 to 4:00) to accommodate Botany 2006 travelers. Other arrangements to visit during 
non-business hours can be made by contacting Andrew Doran (andrewdoran at berkeley.edu) or calling 
(510)642-2465.

Authors contributing to the second edition of The Jepson Manual are especially encouraged to visit 
and meet the editorial staff.
The Herbaria are located on the UC Berkeley campus, north of both the Oakland and San Francisco 
airports (and therefore on-the-way to Chico). The University and Jepson Herbaria are located on 
the ground floor of the central atrium of the Valley Life Sciences Building. The entrance is 
prominently marked, flanked by planters, and directly in front of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. 
The Valley Life Sciences Building is a large building easily identified by its "neo-Babylonian" 
bas relief, located east of the prominent eucalyptus grove that is near the West Gate entry kiosk 
at the east end of University Avenue.
The UC Davis Herbarium is north of Berkeley and also on the way to Chico from the San Francisco 
Bay Area:

And the Chico herbarium will have extended hours during the meeting see:

By BART: The University and Jepson Herbaria are within a few blocks of the downtown Berkeley BART 
station. Follow Central Avenue to the east to campus, and then continue east on the walkway that 
crosses the bridge and goes through a wooded area. This will take you to the south side of the 
Valley Life Sciences Building.
In the meantime, you can visit all of these collections online via the Consortium of California 
Herbaria:
