PROJECTS

 

As a plant taxonomist, I have worked on many projects, ranging from identifying plants on Renaissance paintings to surveying vegetation in a biodiversity hotspot. I have also worked with botanical gardens such as Kew, museums such as the Natural History Museum, and plant nurseries, verifying the plants in their collection. My broad knowledge of  vascular plant families has been useful on numerous collecting trips around the world, and this knowledge had led to a book on plant families that  I am currently writing. Feel free to have a look here and read all about my botanical expertise.

 

My aim is to know all the plants in the world. This is of course not possible, but by looking carefully at plants, the beauty and complexity is amazing. It is important that plants are correctly named for many reasons, communication not in the least. Too often I notice erroneous names in the press, garden centers and public gardens. My goal is to help people achieve to maintain well-named collections.

I provide plant identification, nomenclatural help, floristic treatments, botanical field surveys and horticultural advice. I also offer a large range of well-identified photographs.
