2010 Charophyte Calendar 

Free 2010 Charophyte calendar download pdf (40,000 kb)

This full-colour calendar contains images of charophytes for each month of 2010. The images have been contributed by photographers from around the world. In the past the calendar has been for sale as a printed copy, but this year, in the interests of making charophytes known to a larger audience, the calendar is available for free.

Download the pdf file (it might take a while c. 20 minutes, it’s a huge file), then print it out with a double-sided printer on heavy A4 paper (light card, c.100-120 gsm). Page 2 goes on the back of page 1 etc. Bind the top side (spiral or plastic binding) and punch a hole in the middle of the opposite edge and voila you have a calendar to hang on the wall. Check before you bind it that the pages are in the right orientation when it hangs from one edge.

Feel free to print copies for colleagues or friends.

If you would like to support production of next years calendar simply subscribe to the Charophytes journal (electronic subscription, only A$30) and you will be contributing to the dissemination of information about charophytes.
