The curious case of rare plants on southern Vancouver Island

Almost half the rare plants of southern Vancouver Island are mysteriously absent from the neighbouring San Juan Islands, the Gulf Islands or both. Even among those contiguous on these Islands most show a wide gap from the next nearest sites where they occur further to south. By examining their dispersal capacity, habitat and distribution Ryan Batten will look at the significance of that gap and some probable scenarios for their presence in our area.
