Meeting report
The 2009 Annual Meeting was held at the University of Sussex from 11 to 13 September. The occasion was special in that the opportunity was taken to celebrate the 80th birthday of Jean Paton MBE with a specially designed programme of papers and a conference dinner. Altogether 56 members and guests attended the conference, and it was especially good to welcome Barbara Crandall-Stotler and Raymond Stotler from Southern Illinois University, and Herman Stieperaere from the Nationale Plantentuin van België.
On Sunday we visited the Francis Rose reserve at Wakehurst Place as guests of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
