The Botany Section runs an annual programme of 13 to 14 field meetings, which are held in a wide range of locations in Devon. They usually start in April and finish with a meeting concentrating on fungi in October or November. In addition to this programme, there are occasional meetings organised by the 'lower plants' group, i.e. those specialising in bryophytes (mosses) and lichens. The only indoor meeting is the annual general
meeting in January, preceded by a morning walk to look at lichens and bryophytes, followed by consideration of formal business and a slide show of members' photographs. There are also exhibits of botanical interest staged by members.
As well as vascular plants, the Section also looks at, and records, lichens,
bryophytes and fungi; the records are collated by the Recorder for each of these groups and are published in the Section's Annual Report in the Transactions.
Non-members are welcome and there are always experienced botanists on hand at field meetings to help and encourage newcomers. The Section is the major source of botanical expertise in Devon and currently members are busy with a major new recording exercise with a view to publishing a new Flora of Devon.
