Professor G. L. Goodale of the Botany department will deliver the fourth lecture in the series of Sunday afternoon talks at the University Museum, Oxford street, tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock on the subject of "Tropical Vegetation."
It is well known that under the favorable climatic conditions of the moist regions in the tropics, plants take on the widest diversity of forms, thus adapting themselves to their surroundings. Among these forms are many which are exceedingly grotesque, while others are very beautiful. By means of the large number of illustrations and specimens which the Botanical Museum possesses, Professor Goodale will show the difference between our erratic spring, where the vegetation is still dormant, and this season in the tropical regions, where plants are growing in great profusion.
The lecture will be open to the public.
