O P T I M A N E W S L E T T E R O P T I M A N E W S L E T T E R O P T I M A N E W S L E T T E R Dear Colleagues, I feel honoured to invite you on behalf of our Executive Board of the Flora Research Society to the 13th OPTIMA Congress, to be organized in Antalya between March 22 and 26, 2010. This Congress is organized by the Flora Research Association under my presidency. Also, we shall try to get the support of Akdeniz University which is a valuable scientific institution of the region. As is known OPTIMA, Organisation for the Phyto- Taxonomic Investigation of the Mediterranean Area, organises congresses for the plant taxonomists of the Mediterranean and other countries to meet and exchange views on the flora and the vegetation of this region, every three years in a different country of the Mediterranean region. The previous OPTIMA congress in Turkey was organised in 1986 in Istanbul. Approximately 300-400 botanists participate in this Congress, and the participating scientists listen to the lectures given by learned plant taxonomists and other scientists in 10-12 Symposia, each on a different topic and organised by a prominent scientist. Turkey has made remarkable progress in the Floristic Plant Science within the last 30 years, and the universities in Turkey abound with experienced and young botanists. However, the lack of communication and interaction between the Turkish and foreign scientists is seen as a big handicap. This Congress will provide scientists an opportunity to meet each other and interact. The Congress will be held at a holiday resort in the Belek region of Antalya in South Turkey. The con- Location and dates The XIII OPTIMA Meeting will take place in Antalya on March 22-26, 2010; the detailed programme is to follow. XIII OPTIMA MEETING ANTALYA 22-26 MARCH 2010 First Circular gress will consist of lectures and a 1-day excursion to the nearby Taurus mountains to observe the rich and diverse spring flora, especially the geophytes and Abies cilicica above the high plateaus. Besides, participants will have the opportunity to visit other historical and floristic sites in Antalya, including regional plant associations such as natural forests of Cedrus libani, Cupressus sempervirens, etc. This Congress will give an important and unique opportunity to the botanical scientists interested in the plant life of Turkey and the Mediterranean region to get acquainted with a typical plant geographical context with high diversity and attractive natural beauties. blended with cultural and historical riches.
