General Research Interests
My research focusses on floristics of neotropical and Madagascar Rubiaceae,
and on the systematics of several Rubiaceae groups. My main systematic interests are the
neotropical species of Palicourea, Notopleura,
Margaritopsis, and Carapichea, the Madagascar
species of Gaertnera, and the pantropical genus Psychotria.
(The genus Cephaelis was formerly separated from Palicourea
and Psychotria but is no longer recognized; the web page linked below includes a
partial list of synonymy for Cephaelis names.) My studies are primarily based on
specimens, including many sent as gifts for identification which are always welcome.
Current Projects
Rubiaceae floristic treatments for the Flora Mesoamericana; the English-language Flora of China; the Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica; and the Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Antioquia Department (Colombia), and Madagascar catalogues
Genus-level studies (including development of web-based resources) for Palicourea, Notopleura, neotropical Carapichea, neotropical Margaritopsis, neotropical and Madagascar Psychotria, and Madagascar Gaertnera
