Tropical Plant Systematist and Keeper of South-East Asian Collections

General Interests My recent research has focussed on monographic and floristic studies of South-East Asian Apocynaceae. I have completed an account for the Flora of Thailand and am working on an account for Flora Malesiana. My other research interests include the genus Gaultheria and its relatives in the Ericaceae, and future research interests will include the Lauraceae.
